Made it to Seattle after 55 hours of driving.
Left wed afternoon and arrived in WA Sunday night. After 3600 miles on the Max it performed flawlessly. Like always... :D

Made it gone for three weeks 11,000 miles in tow.

Just needed a new fan clutch.

Hows that for reliability.

Good to hear of the reliability. While we simply don't have the land mass to travel coast to coast and cover 9000miles I still travel widely in my LD28 powered truck and yes, I have found these engines to be very reliable.

I'd love to live somewhere where you can drive that distance between coasts... 8) Here you can do it in a couple of hours :lol:

Hmmm, 9000 miles, maybe I should plan a circumnavigation of NZ :wink:
Good roads lead to bad fishing.
