Finally we are on the way just passing Jacksonville exit on I-75.
Leisurely heading north with ZL1 in trailer and some xtra parts for friends from SOUTH.

Outside of the 9 MPG we are getting towing all is great LOL.

Wow, how far Ice Cube has fallen....

Mishimoto · 07-31-2012, 03:59 PM

What is under the hood of that tow rig?

Pony-up · 07-31-2012, 04:12 PM

This has a 6.6 liter Duramax V-8
MPG went up now that I'm not driving if you keep it under 70MPH - 11MPG not as bad.

Now thats the way to represent New ZL1 and New Chevy Dually.

Mishimoto · 08-01-2012, 08:16 AM

Do you have a tune on the truck or is it all stock?

Pony-up · 08-01-2012, 11:39 AM

Its completely stock just picked it up from dealer had 81 miles on it when we left Miami. Now has 1009 miles we are 350 miles away from Indy.

Its always something wound up loosing two tires had to make a quick pit stop in Atlanta this morning bought three new tires. Not taking any more chances...

Thanks to the guys at Kauffman tires they got us going quickly.

hrpiii · 08-01-2012, 12:05 PM

whoa, that is a shredded tire. Hope that is the ONLY issue you see in your whole round trip!!

CamaroRs68 · 08-01-2012, 12:13 PM

I know the feeling been their and done that

Pony-up · 08-01-2012, 12:15 PM

All seems to be going well now, and i guess thats what happens when the tire goes at 75 mph.
The funny thing is we didn't hear or feel the blow-out.

Mishimoto · 08-01-2012, 12:18 PM

It's nice having a brand new truck for towing, and it sounds like you're in the same range as other guys towing with the new model. Sucks to see you had tire issues, is that your snap-on cordless impact?

Pony-up · 08-01-2012, 12:33 PM

Good eye and you are correct, I don't leave home without the impact gun.

Mishimoto · 08-01-2012, 02:50 PM

I don't blame you, those are some tough units and plenty of power. Used them at a heavy truck shop and for light duty roadside calls
