Are you replacing the batteries, or are they serviceable? Like Richard said, check date of manufacture on tires. If it's been sitting for a few years, and inflation hasn't been maintained you could have issues, even if the tires are only a few years old. If they are 5, or more years old, it's best just to replace them as it then becomes an issue of when, not if a tire will blow out at speed, which happened to me (left front at 60mph).

Being sure the suspension and air brake systems hold air, especialy the brakes is very important to even drive a short distance. If you can't maintain air pressure for the brakes the rears will lock up and you will be stuck wherever you are stopped.

I think Richard covered the most important stuff....he's a wizard on suspension!

I've got the 6V92 also....great engine!

Keep us posted.
