Day one…

[AzScorpion]

Only warning light I had was crash avoidance…bug juice had partially covered the sensor ?. Getting over 5000 miles of bugs off is going to be fun! Any bug remover suggestions. Big cleaning coming for this truck when I get home. Even managed to get fresh cow dung thrown onto steps and driver side door. Drove a couple hundred miles on Oregon NFS and ranch roads.

When I stop for gas I clean my windows but also use the wand to clean off the front end and mirror caps of all the bugs. That seemed to help a lot when I brought it to the self serve (hand wand) car wash here. Of course there's so much Graphene on it most just slid right off. ?

If you have one of those self serve car washes I'd try soaping it really good there, let it sit for about 5 minutes (I just pay for one round of soap, wash with a microfiber mitt then pay for one round rinse) then rinse it good, most should come off that way.

If not pay attention next time and use the 303 Graphene BEFORE leaving!??

I did 303 it before leaving…bug juice seems to have dissolved it??. Friday will be truck cleaning day,

Yuk, on the cow dung. I hate getting stuck behind or next too those trucks.

I say take a detour to AZ and have Dave @AzScorpion help you with those bugs, he only has rain spots to clean off his Tremor.

After tomorrow he can meet me in SD. I have my Graphene detailer with me and some extra microfiber towels. Hey, you always have to be prepared when you travel. ?

And this is where you would catch me glaring at you from across the parking lot, judging you harshly.

Made it home. All the trip stuff is out of the truck except dust, dirt, sand, crumbs and etc.

This 5500 miles of gas receipts. Low was 2.99 and high was 4.69. As soon as I hit MTZ it jumped! Afraid to go to my CC App and see the damage ?

I’ll post more pics after a day of getting the truck clean. That’s going to be fun!

Glad everything went well...We had a budget starting out but we rarely stick to it on these long vacations. There's so many things that can get you sidetracked that you just sometimes have to do while you're there.

I have all my gas receipts in an envelope but I add them to my notepad on my phone . So far I'm at $512.50 for 4,230 miles using premium only and I still have 16 days to go. ?

BTW the fish fry kind of morphed into a weekend jam. We now have 2 bands coming and more than half your city will be there. Once they heard you were supplying free beer they couldn't pass it up. Hope you caught a lot of fish! ??

Truth, those things are hell on paint.

Total for gas was $ 777.41. I estimated before I departed 800-1000, but 25.6 MPG for entire trip was over my estimate of 22 so I saved some there! Absolutely shocked that my MPG is this good with this much performance.
