Vehicle drained

That's where GL got the phrase "ran when parked".

Guys. it is not GL. I have turned some very nice equipment into scrap before I could turn it in to DRMO. We turn in milling machines, presses, generators, if it has oil in it, the oil has to be drained. Some of us will unscrew an oil line to drain the oil out, some of the guys, will cut all the lines to drain the oils, and some will take a pick ax and punch holes in the tank.
Now, here is the $$ part, before I can turn in the equipment to DRMO, that oil that we just drained out, we have to pull a sample and have it tested! If test comes back that there was nothing in the milling machines oil that will kill a civilian, we can then turn in the equipment.

Another reason to haul it home and not plan on driving it home.

Got any suggestions on haullers? I won the bid.

With the auction over, post up the auction link and let us look at it. You'll get better ideas that way when someone had something to look at. Personal experiences with that particular model too.

I may have 2 options, ship it all the way home, 900 mi., or ship it 100 mi. to my daughter's place in Dublin, TX where I can work on it later. I think my daughter's are probably missing my old green M932A1 by now.

There is a new guy at Ft Hood that just got back from the sandbox. Maybe he can take a look for you.

GL will not be the ones draining them.

This can not be the fact all the time they show them running and driving them.
My map 004a they only drained the violent.

I won five deuces out of RRAD recently. One had all fluids in good shape, one was two quarts low on motor oil, one had no coolant but all other fluids, one was two gallons of motor oil low and had a drained transfer case, and one had a drained engine and drained transfer case. CHECK ALL FLUIDS Regardless of whether some fluids have been drained or not. Just because the motor is full of oil and coolant doesn't mean that all other fluids are present. I learned this the hard way. Good thing I have an M936.

Every thing takes a while to get down this far south.But yes gl does this now.A ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

My truck listed as "fluids drained" in fact had all fluids intact. GL is always a roll of the dice.

I won a fluids draine A3 out of Sparta. Truck arrived and looked like it was never used. It was missing drive shafts. I went for it as a parts truck, but it looked so good, I decided to fill it and run it.
Had blown head gasket but that was about it. Sold the truck to a kid who fixed the head gasket. Its now a reliable runner.
