Don't you have AAA or some kind of roadside assistance? If you have a AAA gold card (or something to that efftect) they can tow you an unlimited amount of miles for free. It seems that AAA will reimburse the tow truck drivers for towing you. Its easy and it will save you in the long run. It got me out of a lot of tough spots when I had my chevy.

What kind of shop do you have it at?? Sounds like the guy is just throwing parts (and money) at it until he finally gets the right part. What exactly did it do/is it doing?

Sounds to me like the problem is with your mechanic. Post exactly what is happening / codes / etc. I'll bet International Tech can diagnose your truck from his living room.
