   Thanks all. :)  Tractor has been a handful to get running and still isn't, and all the implements have been sitting in a row getting mowed around all last summer. It was definitely an adventure, though, and good times for sure. No police interaction at all! I was a little surprised at times, and I'm sure we got some funny looks, but nobody bugged me at all. 

Something I discovered back in the fall - the boost reference line to the AFC on my injection pump on the Dodge was broken and split apart. That line allows boost to act on the diaphragm in the AFC and adjust fueling accordingly. A lot of the high-horsepower 12-valve guys put a solenoid in that line so they can turn the power of the truck down (for the wife or valet or whatever), and it can cut the power that the truck makes down by close to half. With my line all busted up, I basically hauled that heavy load around 700 miles with the valet switch on. D'oh!!
