Picked up my 1st MV today or yesterday (still haven't gone to sleep) with help from a buddy of mine at the GL lot in Barstow. I knew the truck didn't start from a previous inspection so I went prepared with all the essential top off fluids and extra batteries. Truck would crank over with a jump, but would not start. I primed the fuel system and gave it a go...success the sleeping beauty awoke . Even the guy working the lot seemed suprised, but even if it didn't start I had a plan B for a flat bed tow. Did a quick check of brakes working and all lights good, drove it off the base for a more thorough inspection of everthing. Topped trans was 3 qts low and coolant low by 3 qts. Off we went I didnt have a spare tire so I contacted Mark at $100man he said we could swing by and pick up wheel/tire already mounted. We picked up the the spare and were back on the road. The truck performed very well even climbing the hills in the desert heat temp did not go past 200. It rides real smooth and steering is real smooth for a big truck. Nothing like what I was expecting from talking to the people that own a deuce.
Now that it's home I'll start going over what needs to be done to it. First on the list is change of all fluids and filters then a paint job cause man whoever painted it must have done it with their grandmas tooth brush.
Will post pictures soon.
