Having it shipped back to Dallas

Salt Lake mechanic reassembled truck with a broken lower ball joint, right side . 1+ inch play. Since I don't want to DIE on a mountain road I'm having it shipped home to Dallas where I will repair everything, thanks to everyone for your help and especially Derek for giving me a place to park it.

Hub-900, sabotaged rad/alt/tensioner-500 , broken ball joint-200, flight-400, rental car-400, FTE folks-priceless

Guy at AVIS rental charged me 1/2 price for the rent a car after I told him the story, Southwest discounted my flight, you guys helped. So, instead of using the Wilson Combat 9mm I always carry, I stepped back and realized that one bad guy screwed me (and he'll get his, its already on its way through a lawyer in Salt Lake) and a whole bunch of good people helped me, more good than bad after I did the math.

Sorry it did not work like you planned but sometimes the best laid plans blow to sh-t in your face. But like you said you didn't die on a mountain road and there will be another trip, I am sure.
