It cruises nice and smooth on flat and moderate inclines. Pulling the big 'Mothers' between Barstow and Vegas was another story. Lucky they have an extra SLOW lane- I was down in 2nd.

620 mile recovery, no problems, other than running out of gas between the base and the truck stop. One picture sums up a 936 recovery:

If my kids talked about us that way- I'd cut them off, too.

Videos are there, at last for me. Nothing changed recently. I'm not having any trouble using the site- bidding, winning, loosing- all good.

I find that on my 925 I have to goose the left lever all the way to the back, and then it engages. The lever appears to be all the way back, but then soldier B pops his head up and asks what I am waiting for. I think it helps to give it a little RPM to help it slide in all the way.

ok... it counts!

Thanks for keeping us updated. Looking good and functional. I've added your name to the 'Steel Butt" Registry (those who have made a recovery or trip of more than 1000 miles in their MV).
