No, I did not have any luck finding a cargo cover yet. But I did recover THE M923 yesterday from Sparta and got it home last night, I had a few issues but nothing major. 4 hours to get from the north side to the south side in Chicago took what would have been a nice trip into PITA.

What is PITA? I drove my A3 right through Chicago in 2010. It wasn't bad until I got on 80/94 going east, then the speed of cas coming up from behind got scary. Me=45mph, upcoming cars=90 mph= not good. I can't tell you how many times I thought I was going to get rearended. Glad you had a good recovery. I'm going friday to get mine from a friends.

Made it home last night. Long cold trip. Truck ran great, 63 mph at 2000 rpm all the way.
Awesome! How many miles did you have to drive? When I drove mine it was running at 2300 rpm and speedo only said 60. I did have some air related problems, the little valve that senses coolant temp that engages the fan clutch started leaking air and engaged the clutch all the time. I pulled the truck over and cleaned out the spring and the rubber seal. It made it almost all the way home and then started doing it again about 30 miles away. But anyway glad you made it.

The big tires must make the difference. At 2300 I was doing 69. Had no problems with the truck. Left Menomonee Falls at 3pm and arrived in Grand Rapids at midnight. Would have made better time but had to take a hour detour for my wife and was in grid lock traffic on the Dan/Ryan for 2 hours. Total trip was 300 miles. It's nice to have it home, now I can clean the windows so I can see out of them instead of my peep hole.
