well ya see it's big bad diesel's fault. i merely mentioned to my dad that with 138 gallons i wouldnt have to stop for fuel and waste time. which turned into not stopping at all. my ass falling asleep would be the reason for the nicest seats possible

Not trying to bust your balls man. It can be done, but you would be a fool to do it. Stop every 6 hours and check the rig out walk around the truck a few times, some jumping jacks maybe. If you feel you need to stop more do so.

Maybe you dad in that parental wisdom knows what he is talking about.... :c:

Ive done it several times with an L shaped 95 gallon gravity fed tank. But only when going towards my nice soft bed @ home and have been fla to wash oregon calif and only got 1000 miles with a loaded trailer @ an average of 10 MPG and always hunt for the cheapest fuel to fill it up all the way on. Dont rely on your memory when driving long hours to remember where fuel was cheap. WRITE IT DOWN!!! LOL and u always want to check your load to be safe and it can be done in between 16 and 22 hours for a 1000 mile trip without fuel. you can only go 1500 without fuel empty, only with a programmer can you do it loaded and u must have 3:73 gears not 4:10

one time when i did it, i dozed off...saw a 50 mph speed limit sign on interstate and slammed braked on...just woke up and saw it..a big truck was up ahead of me :scare2: i thought it was a dump truck that pulled over in my lane and said stay back 500 ft...but it wasnt, it was the damn speed limit sign and a truck up ahead...i knew it was time to pull over for awhile after that

Make the deal with your dad, as you can't stop for fuel, but if you need to sleep, eat or use the bathroom you'll stop:tu:

oh yeah. i take my truck and anything it is attatched to seriously. i'd rather admit i can't do something than at the very least wreck my truck and at worst kill myself and others. there's not a point to be proven that is worth any of that
