What is your question?
I was moving and had put the Jeep on a dolly. I have had the jeep for 15 years and I am use to putting the emergency brake on and in 2nd gear when I turn it off. Well once I drove it up onto the dolly and turned it off that is what I did. I was off drove about 2 miles when I noticed smoke coming from the rear of the uhal. I pulled over and it was coming from the jeep. I immediately thought what the hell. A man stop to assist me and told me that I should have had it in nuetral. Well I put it in nuetral and released the emergency brake and proceeded with the move. A few days later after it stopped raining terribly I went to take a inspect the jeep. Looked under the hood and under and that is when I noticed that there was a few holes in the oil pan. I was busted from the inside out. What could have caused this and what am I looking at in repairs. It won't start and I was told not to try to start it as it has no oil in it. Can you please enlighten me? I have contacted someone from transmission experts in local to me and was told that he would be by within the hour to come get the jeep this was about 6 days ago no show no call. I really can't trust someone that is not reliable. Any advice on any locals also. Thanks

If the engine was spinning without the engine on due to it being in gear and being towed and it has holes in the oil pan then the engine is blown and will need replacement. You will need to call some wrecking yards to find a engine from a wrecked jeep and have it installed But make sure it comes with some kind of warranty. Hope this helps.
I am not sure as I have not found anyone in my area that can help. Still searching. But I appreciate your help in this matter.... Wish I would have learned from my dad before he passed. He was voted one of the top mechanics for Mercedes Benz where he was working,,,Thanks again
