Well after a long 2 days we have made it to DAWSON GEORGIA. We got up Monday and got everything ready to go, and at 7:30 he was off to meet up with the others(only 2 others showed for the first leg, 10 backed out last minute). I got a phone call at 8 while I was at the vets dropping my dogs off, and one of the T's had broke down. He lost a wheel bearing and it locked up the left rear wheel.

So I go back to the house and grab the trailer since they were still close to the house and ran up and got the broke down T and hauled it back to the house. We tore the rear end out, and after an hour of trying to rebuild his 2 speed rear axle we gave up and my grandfather wheeled out a good used one he had. So by noon they were back on the road(but with a regular 3.78:1 rear axle instead of his 2 speed with a 3:1).

I head out in the motorhome by 12:20 to fuel up the motorhome, and after an hour of waiting to get into the station(only had 1 diesel pump working), we were off to play catch-up. We caught up to em in CHIEFLAND where ETHANOL caught us. The same T that had the rear end problems had never run any E-10 through his tank, s after his second tank his sediment bowl plugged up on him. They stopped in at a NAPA and got a blow chuck and we met up and took the fuel lines out and blew em out on the side of the road. This got us by to finish out the day In PERRY FL for a local car show that FORD sponsored.

We left there this morning and had a pretty good day today, only had to stop once for one car to swap some coils and change out a spark plug. Theres now 4 of us total, and by the time we made it here we all had to stop and tweak on the cars some. And the ethanol had plugged up his sediment bowl yet again, so we drained the tank and pulled it all apart and cleaned it out. So hopefully now we won't have anymore ethanol problems at least.

I'll try and check in again the next time we find wifi.
