What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

While heading to AZ last week the A/C started blowing just cooler than outside air. Checked before adding any 134 and the pressure gauge was pegged RED. We bled off a lot of pressure and brought it back up into the safe zone. Blows cold now, not just cooler than scorching. Currently at El Mirage to make another attempt at establishing a record tomorrow or dirt for small diesel powered Streamliner H/DS. Hope the weather gurus are right about the winds calming down. Currently 30mph….

Dang it man, You get to have all the phun.
Need some help ?
Oh wait, I’m going back to working Monday, save the leave time for Ohio or Alaska or some such. 😹
 
A short while ago I posted somewhere here about my left rear wheel locking up and causing pull to the left under moderate to heavy braking. I finally got around to adjusting the rear brakes. I only adjusted the right rear which needed quite a bit of adjustment. That corrected the pulling problem and the pedal height is significantly higher.
 
Filled up this am at $3.63 for diesel, because of Iran’s threat to close the Hormuz Strait. If they try, I think they will lose their entire navy. No other country in the Middle East wants to see the Hormuz Strait closed.

I did a mpg calculation based on the full and I average 17.3. This was not pure highway miles as there was some driving in town.

I checked the oil level and it was at the top line on the dipstick. I had changed the oil before my trip up to Montana and have now put 1,700 miles on this oil change. I will change it at 2700 miles or 247K, which is just 1,000 miles more.
