A bit of history would be helpful.........otherwise, just keep an eye on things and listen for any noises that would indicate a severe issue.

The fact that you're unfamiliar with it doesn't assist in this endeavor.

Most of the time a strange vehicle requires a bit of luck to bring home safely.

I'm 2 for 3 on them. Two made it with few issues. One didn't.
