Done with my 3200mile trip

Well I was going to travel from Houston to Irvine Ca. pulling 16,000 in trailer and cars. Well the trip is over and I have to say i am truly pleased with my truck, it didn't complain at all.

Stock
03 7.3 F250 Auto 4X4 Crewcab

Upgrades
6.0 Trans Cooler, Compressor Wheel, Quadzilla Commander, TS Performance (50,75,100,140,High Idle)

The trans temp never got above 170F and the enigne oil was at its highest 223F, Fuel econ wasn't that bad 13.1 going there and 12.9 on the way back. I was running red diesel on the way there so go figure. In the desert it was 109F

I am trying to get the Video uploaded but I keep getting a Network Error, I will keep trying.

Sorry about the Quality, tried to make it smaller

I was only there for 3 days, Left Houston Tx @ 3:00PM Thrus and made it to Irvine Ca @ 2:00PM Fri then left Sunday Night about 11PM and took my time on the way back.

Went for a Car show (Sevenstock 11)

I understand that. Irvine is full of Orientals. Orientals are horrible drivers. I almost get hit for every 3 I see driving. Almost got run over by one today while walking through a parking lot. I think I would say the same about Texas if I ever drove out that way.

I lived in ca for 21 years and moved to texas 2 years ago. I know what you mean about tex and ca being different. lets just say that after leaving ca, I will NEVER go back! My chicks parrents are still there so I am forced to go back 1 or 3 times a year and I hate EVERY second of it!!!

I am "oriental" and I drive just fine. Now I cant really disagree with your comment about the majority of asian drivers.

From my experience though, "orientals" are generally used to describe material things such as carpets or furniture, while "asian" is a more accepted term for describing a person.
