Thanks everyone! I'll be taking advantage of the 10% discount on parts from Heartland before long...it seems a guard post at a station near Tulsa got a little close to the Cyclone on the way up here and did a little bit of cosmetic damage! Nothing major effected, just made me want to kick myself in the butt! It sure feels good to be back in the Cyclone!
Ray - I'm working at the BP Refinery in Whiting, IN and parked the Cyclone about 3-4 miles away in an old mobile home park on E 134th St in Chicago. There are about 10,000 contract employees working at this refinery right now, and there are about 100 or more RVers staying at this park. Nothing fancy at all - just an old trailer park! I should be here at least 6-8 months.
Dave - yep, had to trade in the old Duramax for a big, ole Ford! It's in excellent, mint condition, King Ranch w/86,000 miles and loaded! Definitely a Beast, could hardly even tell the Cyclone was back there. It was truly amazing the pull this has over the old Duramax! Like night and day! Seems to be thirsty, though - I averaged 6 mpg from OK to Chicago! I haven't driven it solo on any road trips, yet, but will be driving back to OK after Christmas for a quick trip home. I'm guessing it'll get 14-15?
