Redstone recovery complete

[anthony3478]

Well I made it back, let me tell ya, driving a deuce for 3 hours is a workout!! I want to thank my loving wife Amy for driving her car as a support vehicle, and Thanks to Wreckerman893 for calling me back even though I figured it out just as he did call me . I dont think Ill get the " forgot to pull up syndrome" again

Nice looking truck. I was there last week for a pre-pickup inspection and saw some nice ones and some not so nice ones.

 

[roscoe]

Does it really need the red pan? Truck looks good. I hope it ran good for you on the trip home.

 

[anthony3478]

Roscoe, one of the plastic fuel lines was leaking so thats the reason for the pan, it ran great!!

 

[DUG]

Good looking truck!

 

[roscoe]

Did you bring extra fuel line with you on pickup? Did you change out the filters and all or just check fluid levels? I'm a little aprehenive about changing a bunch of stuff out, before a long drive, because it could creat more problems if things don't seal up correctly. I will have about a 8 hour drive if all goes smooth.

Yah what is it w/GL and smashing fuel lines. I just inspected some trucks today and they had forklift smashed fuel lines

 

[anthony3478]

Roscoe, no I brought compression ferals and inserts but the leak was small so I didnt worry with it, I took extra fuel,water, filters, and tools, but only checked levels and took off, went off without a hitch

Congrats on the recovery. I have to say though, 3 hrs behind the wheel of a deuce is not much more than a slow dance. You need to be behind the wheel all day for a couple of days to appreciate all that life has to give.

Try a 6 day and 2500 mi recovery. Lets say you get to know your new truck well!

Looks good man. As much of a pain it is, I can't wait to drive my next 4 trucks home.

BTW, you should have seen the looks on people's faces when drove through Tarrant We had crackheads saluting us

 

[det45]

We had crackheads saluting us

Yeh, what's up with that? I've had the same thing happen to me.

 

[Sumoman]

Nice truck!

Your recovery sounds like mine, easy

A word to the wise for what it is worth.
I just got off the phone with Teresa at GL Redstone.
She is booked solid through the 27th due to a large customer picking up a butt load of trucks.
She is good people and will try to work you in but be patient. There are a lot of trucks up there to be picked up and they only have so many folks.
If you have contacted me about picking up a truck we will be able to get it done but it could be a slooooow process.
In this instance you are prob OK on your pickup time limit but call her and get put on the list.

 

[jrou111]

Thanks for the heads up, Wreckerman. I'm still waiting on my EUC to clear, plus I'm busy the next two weeks so I'm not it a huge hurry. I'll make sure to call quickly for a spot once the EUC clears though.

BTW, if you go up there can you check and see if my driveshaft is bent? It's 4107/3655. Also if 4107/3634 is on the lot yet.

Thanks!

I wonder how this will affect one's free storage period.

 

[anthony3478]

yeah Wreckerman you are right there is a lot of trucks out there and Monday the 13th there was at least 5 or 6 there at 9am to pick up. But i gotta give it to Teresa, and her crew they are a great bunch of folks!
