If possible YES.

Roy, are you driving it back to Michigan? If so, what tools if any, are you bringing from home?

I no longer question authority, I annoy authority. More effect, less effort....

1967 230-6 auto parts car. rust bucket.
1980 300D now parts car 800k miles
1984 300D 500k miles
1987 250td 160k miles English import
2001 jeep turbo diesel 130k miles
1998 jeep tdi ~ followed me home. Needs a turbo.
1968 Ford F750 truck. 6-354 diesel conversion.
Other toys ~J.D.,Cat & GM ~ mainly earth moving

I have only see few of those "buses"

Is is going to get the works
IP turned up
propane injection or water methonal
after cooler (if it has a turbo)

Just kidding
It sounds like if you bust out a map and plan your route

through or close to as many forum members back yards

with phone # in hand you wouldn't have to bring everything
including the kitchen sink (bus has one right?)

If your in central IL. I'll bring you tools or fluids, jacks, or a sandwich

I see this as like a marathon

you loping by in a pokey diesel with you hand out the window

and forum members handing you cups of water

that you splash on your face and press on to MI.

Get your chauffeurs license and make some side money ferrying people around.

I have had a chauffeurs license since 1976.

Getting a chauffeurs license in MI is very very easy. On a whim I decided to take the test, spent 10 min preparing with a pamphlet at the SOS, took the test, and passed the first time
