yes she is coming and we are driving her truck full of tools . fuel and water . check it all out and drive it home. the video showed it running and says its a running truck that just needed to be jumped off. so i have 4 new batteries to install and i have the closest 3 napa stores in sight if needed. ill be stopping in at the nearest one for some new fuel filters if i have some problems on the way home. truck has 12k miles on it so im thinking not many problems

Well that sucks! I recovered my second M871 trailer today from Ft Bliss, and when I got there it was missing from the line up. Oh man got pretty excited and then found it in the back of the lot. The unit that turned it in had left a bunch of scrap and trash in it, so they were nice enough to go and dump it all. So nice they didnt even put the side board kit back up. I was just happy it was there! Hope all goes well on your situation!

WOW that sucks! Driving all those hours and coming back empty? I would make them pay for the time and fuel! Or have the truck delivered to your place!
Now where is that popcorn smiley?

just corrected the location. ft polk not hood. i came beck with the truck. just had to add one gallon of water. all the fluids check ok. aired up the tires and installed 4 new batteries. it was a long day of driving all over the place. the truck ran great and can do 70 mph. its missing the 2 front side racks and the comealong for the spare tires but still had the jack and some hand tools inside. some touch up paint and then put my new mich. tires on and ill be good to go. the trans shifted out fine. i had one rear brake stuck but the 3 pounder got that fixed right up. i will do some research to see about getting my new air conditoner installed along with some light and electronic upgrades to make this a easy riding confort coach
