Welcome to the addiction! You might want to also fill in your city under location since NC is a big state. Care to share more info on this deal of a lifetime you mentioned.
Heading out Sat 6-7 in an empty 3/4 ton truck to SE MO, little town called Puxico MO. Can haul cargo or trailer anywhere close to that route. From there to Huntingdon TN on 6-9, and then back to Franklin NC flat towing a M1009, can haul cargo only. Anyone need anything hauled along that route...
Interesting idea... could be a pain after a filter change though. Or a cold winter morning. But then again think of the exercise you would get winding that thing back up... over and over and over...
Keep us posted with pricing.
Just my opinion here but if I spent $30k on a truck, especially from a dealer, I would at least expect it to make it up my driveway. I say send it back if, and only if, you will get a full refund.

I have also brought a couple of 6tl's back to life with a Batteryminder. It's a charger, maintainer, and desulfator all in one. If you have power I definitely recommend using one. If no power the newer solargizers with the large solar panel would be my 2nd choice.
Looking like it will be Sat before I can get there now, unfortunately there and back in one day. Also wont be able to bring a truck so if anyone has any extra room my son would love to ride along on a trail run if not to much trouble. Anyone needs anything hauled down from Western NC let me...
