You gotta keep alert and really just can't speed anymore than 10mph over the limit. Cars have become more safer so people, the drivers, don't have to be. Add in that you can easily be going 90mph when it feels like 65mph doesn't help either. What pisses me off is when someone does something...
It is more than likely vapor lock. After doing a run and idling into a beach and hanging out for an hour the engine temps may be hotter than when you first parked. Look up heat soak. Hot engines and a closed hatch temps will continue to rise before they start to cool because there is no exit for...
You don't reenacting events like this. FFS might as well have Sandy Hook on standby for the encore. I'm sure parents would just love watching a play out of their worse nightmare and its their kids on the stage.

For us Priest fans, 50 years ago today Judas Priest released their debut album titled Rocka Rolla. Getting past the terrible marketing of trying to copy a soda company it is a very good album along with the following 2 albums. If you know Priest by their later albums listen to a few songs off...
I would go gas on a half ton. Diesel in a half ton goes over my head. They don't seem to last to many model years before they get dropped or a major change and that makes finding parts tough and expensive if you keep your vehicles longer than 10 years. Diesel doesn't always mean its a tow beast...
