Shakedown to rockport …
tires needed 40+ psi, brake system wasn’t calibrated right we fixed that on the drive - won’t make that mistake again … ever, toilet valve is spraying everywhere will fix tomorrow, thing is filthy from the dust need to clean it, ACs fine, will check the water heater after the toilet is fixed, oven works, pizza was good.
but the fucking truck - I told the shop I’m pretty sure the transmission is shot - nope nope ma’am it’s good.
15 miles from rockport we spewed white smoke and pulled over on a lucky stretch with an extra extra wide shoulder. Sprayed transmission fluid all over the pavement.
rockport rides owner came and picked us up, his lady friend gave us a free Airbnb, we then rented a car and had a local guy pull the truck off and tow the fifth wheel to our spot and we got all set up.
Insurance towed the truck to the diesel shop. Fuck man a new transmission and this is legit a brand new truck. We will see what’s what soon…
but we’re here…. One of my most favorite places in all the world.
and I head out for reds flyfishing 745am tomorrow…. cannot wait for the skinny water…
