Just got home. VERY, VERY IMPRESSED.

It was a bit of a pain to change the throttle cable but once that was completed, I added a quart of oil and fired it up. Got a belt squealing but it stopped after we got to speed.

Here is a good things:

- Drives like a DREAM. Better than our Ellie with EVERYTHING new on the suspension. No wiggle in the wheel, hands off at 60 mph and the wheel stays rock solid.
- No rut wander
- Temperature stayed at 180 degrees
- Oil pressure stayed at 40 (needs changing)
- Tranny shifts very, very nice but kicks down a bit too easy. I probably bent the accelerator pedal when I was changing the cable.
- PLENTY of power. Runs up hills without any hesitation. Really has some fortitude.
- Engine starts immediately and runs totally smooth. No movement at all.
- No musty smell which implys that there are no leaks.

Not so good things:

- Original wipers did not work. Of course it was raining a bit so we got some Raine-x and rolled on. Looks like Mr Ken will be selling me another set of his electric wipers.
- Exhaust temp gauge didn't work
- Oil temp gauge doesn't work
- Heater blower doesn't work
- Air compressor didn't start but there are some switches that I didn't want to experiment with until I got home. Probably just a fuse.

Found the ECU and the laptop. After we eat lunch, I'm going to spend the afternoon cleaning out all the mice nests and throwing things away so we know what we have. The cherry cabinets are just new doors all of which look really nice. I haven't opened up the propane compartment yet and don't know if the tank is empty or not. The new fridge is at least propane plus ??? Volts because when you turn it on it says 'propane'.

I'll take more photos and inventory things and make another post later.
