Check all fluids, belts and driveline before you put the batteries on. Then turn on the ass switch listen for the intank fuel pump to kick on and the loud low air alarm. Have you buddy that was standing by the fuel tank to listen for the pump, move forward before you hit the red start button, unless you want to cover him with 2 years of ext stack goo! The day we picked ours up 9 of 13 drove out after jumps, 3 were put on semi trailers and were not even tried to start them. My buddies was the only one started that could not drive. Also make sure you can close the back doors of the van. I was wanting to get back out there and check this lot, but won't have time. I was looking to get another for a parts truck. The 109's go quite a bit cheaper that the cargo duce. Also get on top of the cab and check the roof of the box, if the inside of the box has dark little splotches on the green paint chances it's mildew and the box leaks. One more thing if you have time and before you drive one home check fluids in the diff's. I had a buddy that bought a WWII scout car never checked them and was in the middle of a parade when it locked up! No juice in either axle. Somewhere is a good tread on what to bring on recovery besides your camera, on this site you got to put up pictures!!
