Moving from 22192 to 42431
Well, looks like my days here in VA are numbered. I will be moving to Madisonville, KY in a few weeks (if my job transfer goes thru), then moving to Evansville, IN a few months later for school, work, and life. I have debated renting a 10' truck and an auto transport to tow my truck. I work for U-Haul, BTW. With the price exceeding $800 for that combo, my backup plan will probably move to the front. I will most likely rent a 4'x8' trailer, which at that point is somewhere along the line of $175 for the trailer before any discount. I am not going to be towing much, just a bunch of light boxes and such. Just enough stuff that can't fit in the truck.
What needs to happen to prepare my truck for this 800mi trip?
I know my oil is due for a change soon, so I will do that. I need to drain/fill my trans fluid again per my mechanics orders. My coolant has probably never been changed after the engine was replaced, so flush and fill?
Anything else?
