First off use comman sense..Dont just hook to it and pull the Hell out of it..Use a good source to pull with I.E. a Dodge(of course LOL).I have pulled MANY of trucks that have been sitting for way more than 10 years.I have found that if you hook to a non-bendable point-axle,shackle,etc.,then tug on it a few times,and most generaly it breaks free(brakes and all)unless it was parked with major damage like a frozen clutch,diff or T-case.My last experiance was a 79 W200.Pulled up-hill.Thought my 90 CTD was giving out.Come to find out 2 brakes were froze,T-case was locked in,3-flats,and the front axle U-joint was bad and axle shaft broke.Locked the old 90 in and,well rest is history(truck came home with me).Did take alot of persation to get it winched on the trailer though.But again,dont just hook to wherever and give it Hell...
