I usually drop south there and take Mt 13 between Wolf Point and Circle then Mt 200S to Glendive. They are good roads alsoRe: Eastbound I-90 ChicagoI doubt I've been caught more than 1/2 dozen like that. But then I've only been through there 40-50 times in the last 15 yrs. Early morning or later in the evening is the time I try to go through there. When I'm headed east/home I don't care if it's going to be midnight or so when I hit the Michigan border rest area that's my goal and I'll spend the night thereRe: Mount Rushmore to Glacier NPHere are the vehicle restrictions. Any vehicle over 21 feet long, 10 feet high and 8 feet wide (including mirrors) is restricted from the Going-to-Sun Road. I've done 89 from Browning to Great Falls more than once and felt it was a decent road. If you go through Billings I've found the Costco and Sams Club there to have the least expensive fuel in the state. The Sams Club is the easiest to access and is visible from I-90 at exit 447. According to Gas Buddy right now they are both at $4.64 for dieselRe: Eastbound I-90 Chicago enblethen wrote: I hate toll roads! I-80 is toll, I think! I would go farther south and pick up US 52 and then US 30. Then I-65. From there would need to know destination. I don't know about 52 but 30 is full of stop lights and heavy trafficRe: Eastbound I-90 ChicagoI never haul through Chicago only around it like this. I would take 39 at Rockford. It's roughly 50 mi longer but the only toll booth is where I-294 and I-80 join.Re: Auxiliary fuel tank and gravity vs electronic pump thomas201 wrote: When I had diesel, I used gravity feed. With gas, I have to pump. I would not pump diesel, because if you leave the pump on it will have to go somewhere after the truck tank is full. So, if you pump, you need a return line to the deck tank. Just saying. Diesel or gas you overfill the tank it's going somewhere. A return line isn't needed. The trick is to have a reminder such as a buzzer or light in the cab to remind you the pump is on. If one of those doesn't do the trick well, "You Can't Fix Stupid"Re: Help with fuel transfer valveUse an electric fuel pump and forget the other things they are not neededRe: Auxiliary fuel tank and gravity vs electronic pump chevyman94 wrote: hornet28 wrote: A simple electric fuel pump and a light or buzzer in the cab as a reminder to shut the pump off. I did one for my brother that way. I put a flashing LED in the dash for when the pump was on Any recommendations on a pump set up such as a brand? Nothing complicated or expensive.
