Greg,
I don't have any records to compare with your results, but after 23 years
of GMCing, I'd rate those temperatures "Great". They sound about like what
I'd expect on my heavy 23'.
Now, tell us about the rally: How many coaches, etc.? We'd sure have
liked to be there with Y'All, but just a little early for us to get out
yet: SHE's still "skittish". I hadn't planned to make it because of a
family reunion conflict. After that got cancelled at the last minute,
I just couldn't do it.
