Safe travels brother, we'll be praying.

A lil something via paypal brother..good luck and have funWell guys, it’s time for action!
Our plane departs at 8:25EST and shall touch down in Ontario shortly after (California) and we will be picking up the MK23. Planning to do some hopefully-not-needed PCMS on the truck and will be ready to start the great 1900 mile journey from west coast to east coast.
I plan on running I-40 most of the way and will keep updated as possible, if you all don’t mind I ask you say a prayer on my behalf as this will require a tremendous amount of luck and answering of numerous prayers.
Oh and If anyone wants to donate .50c to the poor mans fuel fund my paypal is treefrog_52@yahoo.comView attachment 776750

Hard to gauge by the picture but if the battery is functional, they make lead cap hats to repair terminals like that.Can’t thank you enough!
Every little bit helps,
UPDATE! Micah Adams and Steve Knight picked us up from the airport and we met a lunch delay at Yermo, but the guys there were absolutely amazing to deal with and customer service is their specialty.
My tires were in good shape, with the left front being the only bad one; it has sat flat for some considerable time so we moved it rearward, I have the driver side front hub running hot compared to the others (so I topped off the fluid, how high should it be?) also had a battery terminal failure where someone tried to remedy a connection issue that killed a 2 MONTH old 6tltruck will be getting an oil change and lube tomorrow, I’m just real worried with that front left portal running hot. We are staying in Cali tonight. Just been getting slammed left and right going to get clean and sleepView attachment 776878

Another great help! So here’s the daily dose of updates: I woke up and rode over to Steve Knight’s place and began doing more maintenance. Left front planetary hub was chocolate milk water mix, drained it out, flushed and filled with fresh. Topped off the other hubs after insuring they didn’t have water in them. Greased the driveline, changed the engine oil and filter all 9 gallons. Checked differentials and they were over full.A lil something via paypal brother..good luck and have fun
Thank you both! Every word, every penny, everything everyone has done for me has continuously made this trip possible; although I knew the community is supportive and s tight-knit family I’m always continuously surprise at the sheer support I receive when I attempt wild recoveries such as this!Good luck , prayer sent

I think I’m freezing my growth chart in place for a while LOLWhat a fun adventure! So if we extrapolate your progression in truck acquisitions you should be acquiring a Mack NO next and then an M125, right?
