Got the EUC approved, and just talked with Teresa at Redstone. I have scheduled 7/8/09 at 10:15 for our recovery attempt. I'll have a couple of buddies with me, and my son, and a load of stuff to get this thing going.
Plan is to start it up, (after checking major fluids, adding fresh diesel and batteries) and drive to the Wally World parking lot for a deeper inspection before we drive North. Only have about 180 miles home so hopefully we won't have too many issues.
Good luck to you. If you haven't already read it, read about my adventure here...Speddmon's recovery. What ever you do, make sure your transmission is no more full than one to two knuckles down from the fill plug...DO NOT have the fluid up to the plug threads. It's also a good Idea to post your route and ask for some people who are along the way who could offer help. Thankfully I didn't need them, but if it weren't for drgreg I could have been in real trouble.
Good Luck to you, and let us know how it goes.

I've been following your adventure, and it's good hear that you made it home without too many issues. I will surely check the transmission fluid level for two knuckles down. In a couple of days I'll post up my planned route. I don't want to drive on the superslab, so the highway/backroads will be our preference. Get to see more to the countryside, and a better taste of real america that way.
Get to know Ty Corlew (m16ty here on the board) from Dickson.
Here I am .
The trip should be a little less than 180 miles to Ashland City. I'm 120 from Dickson. I know I'm a little bit off your route but let me know if you need anything.
