Another route question, Hwy 58 Oregon

Thanks once again all y’all for sharing your knowledge and insight. FWIW about the only issue I have with my rig is the fuel pump and thanks to the members of the forum here, I have an easy work-around to use until I return to TX this fall. Overall the rig handles well and I did some preemptive repairs such as replacing the ancient DOT 3 brake fluid with DOT 3 compatible DOT 5.1 severe duty hi-temp brake fluid, I gave it a complete grease job and drive train/chassis inspection, as well as changing out most of the other automotive fluids with the latest and greatest (an ounce of prevention…) before I left TX. So yes, over the course of my journey I’ve learned that my rig needs work but overall it’s roadworthy. Had I been aware of the FMC fuel pump design flaws inherent in my vintage Ford product, I certainly would have changed out the fuel pump before I began my journey (which is why I’m so royally PO at FMC). FMC engineers knew about the problem but let it go uncorrected for years before they finally fixed it and that cavalier attitude of theirs is appalling.
