thanks for the reply jim, It took 4 days, I drove 6 hrs the first day, 12 hrs the 2nd and 3rd days and 7 hrs on the final day. I rigged up a hand operated throttle. It was a lifesaver, I'm not sure I could have done it w/out it.

BTW - the cheapest I paid for diesel was in OK $3.09 a gallon.

I'll be driving back on I-70 in a few weeks.

Edit - I totally forgot to mention that I'm a little insane, and in the interest of fuel savings, I removed the power steering belt and I removed the mechanical cooling fan and replaced it with a pusher electric cooling fan (which I didn't even use!?!) Engine just runs cool (non-turbo) and the ram air effect is more than sufficient.
