<DIV>I will be doing several hours of interstate driving to get home from the dealers place, K.C to Omaha, and am wondering how fast/slow to go doing all of this.</DIV>
<DIV>Not above 50?</DIV>
<DIV>50 to 60,then back to 50?</DIV>
<DIV>50 to 70,then back to 50? </DIV>

fill the tank with fuel and drive it home....unless of course somebody has proof that doing all that non-sense does anything...?

I agree with Dmaxalli. Drive it like you are going to drive it. I waited almost 80 miles before taking mine snowmobiling. Bought it Saturday night (1/17/2004) and went Sunday morning, towed 2 sleds on a small trailer.


Seems to be holding up just fine. :)


Has 7100 miles now.

I purchased mine in El Paso and hit interstate 10 immediately heading back home. It never saw anything below 80 for the first 400 miles. I did learn about the pilot injection as soon as my wife took the wheel, her foot is a little heavier than mine. Scared the hell out of me at first. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif It is plenty tuff, drive it like you stole it and enjoy it.

Thanks guys for the help!


Drive it like you want, is what I'll do then (with in reason though)http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif
