Mine quit the skipping about two days after my post.
Sounds like you went from Orange to El Paso. What a long drive but luckly they have the 80MPH speed limit the otherside of San Antonio.
I made a Angleton to Baton Rouge and back in a little under 10 hours Saturday morning to pick up a truck for a customer. Be glad when they get the road from Beaumont to the state line finished.
