finally got the ok to pick up the wrecker from Ft Drum and the weather decided to give us a break and temps were up to 9. better than the -30 of last years recovery. we first installed a battery tray with new batteries, checked and topped off the fluids and putt on new generator belts. it took three small shots of ether to get the the motor to stay running but it cleared right up with very little smoke.we then checked the tire pressure and made sure everything on the truck was secure. first few miles were rough until the tires started to warm up and become rounder. stopped at the Tilted Kilt to reward Doghead with lunch and a view. that was our only problem of the trip. truck would not restart. after three attempts i pulled the kill out to see if there was any resistance and sure enough there wasn't. so DH opened up the access cover and i crawled up on the struck and reached in and pushed the kill back in. DH then pressed the start switch and it fired right up.
overall the trip went well and the truck was much better than i expected. Dh said we got to 52 mph. which was a surprise to me as the spedo didn't work and the engine would not exceed 2500 rpm. felt a lot slower.
now that its home we will do a complete service and inspection. then play with it. looking forward to abusing something with it. here are some pics.

DH is a straight up person - I thoroughly enjoyed our business dealings and our slight times we get to hang out at the rally.
Did ya make him wear his wig in the truck and squeel like a banchie on the trip ?
Great looking MV.
