Where Travel and Learning Come Together
Anyone that knows about driving a truck, knows that the transmission is a critical part of driving and towing. And the biggest thing that can damage one the quickest is heat. In an effort to help control that, I installed a Derale Oversized Transmission pan. Derale’s Transmission Cooling Pan #14208 uses air passing beneath the…
Nowadays, everyone has a smartphone, which typically has a GPS of some sort. We are no different. I also installed a Kenwood 690HD head unit with GPS in it in the Excursion.
