Talking 3800 mile ROAD TRIP towing 5000 lbs

I left Aurora,Co. on 10/30 on a trip to Vegas to a Buick Grand National race. The rig weights 5000 lbs +. I went to Dallas 1st to see my daughter and then towed to Houston Fri. to viset friends and race the car. Then back to Dallas. I then drove to Vegas for a 2 day Buick race. I blew a head gasket so I ran the Lightning. It went 13.61@100. Then towed to Reno. I am going to move back to Nv. so I left the L , GN, & trailer there and flew back to Co. this AM. The trip was 3800+ miles. All I had to do to the L was change the oil and wash off the dead bugs.

PS. stopped in Goldfield, Nv on my way to Reno and met 2 new friends.

PSS. these trucks tow real good.

HeyFlag Waver
Sorry about the head gasket on the Grand National, but it sounded like you had a good time anyways.

These trucks do tow great don't they.

I tow a 20 foot boat with a 350 CI engine , and you can hardly feel it behind you.
