Here is what I have on my to bring list: 3 jugs of Prestone Antifreeze 50/50 mix (ethylene glycol) - already have 5 gallons of NAPA brand 80/90wt GL-5/MT-1 gear oil (NAPA closed before I could get to their store, something about a holiday that is coming up or something. :) 5 gallons Delo...

I have been trying to research oils, etc., and there seems to be a lot of opinions out there. Based on this being on an Airforce base, what fluids do I need to bring to top off what is already in the truck? What SAE type of oil should I bring for the Transmission, Transfer case, engine, axles...

Well 9 days later and my EUC is cleared.:shock: That was the shortest 60 day wait I have ever had. I guess first time buyers shouldn't expect a 60 day wait on the EUC. Good thing I was pacing myself on the TMs since I had so much time.:) I guess I will spend this weekend buying fluids and...

Fingers crossed, I hope I just need to top of the fluids, do a safety inspection and find that it is good to drive home. As my first one, I wanted one that was in good shape and could be enjoyed. :driver:

I downloaded all the manuals last night and will start reading them today. Looks like there is a manual specifically addressing inspection of the truck. It seems that in my searches, some people recommend always towing/trailering the deuce home even if it is drivable? Assuming the truck looks...
