You're both on track with what I'm thinking. I have no idea what's involved, which is what I plan to look into. Depending on cost difference, that will determine my path.

Edit: I'm not putting anything up for sale yet. Need to figure out what I'm doing first.

 

WOW, that really sucks Jeremy. Hope everything works out for you.

 

JT sorry about your dilema. I hope everything works out for the best

 

My heart goes out to you buddy. We tried everything that we could think of to help you get home. Sorry we could help yuns out.

Sorry about your misfortune jeremy, I hate to hear it

 

It was a long day folks. It was raining/sleeting. I hooked up a strap and towed him to an off ramp. I could find no car hauler for him so I drove almost all the way to Nashville to find a UHaul that was open. I backed up to a tow dolly and realized that was not going to work with his big tires.

I didn't want him to be stranded while his buddy was enroute from MO, so I told dude I was towing a 6 cylinder F150 as I had slipped and mentioned my buddies truck broke down. Well he told me that was oversized, I signed a waiver and off I went with a TOW DOLLY . That's right.

We put his spare and my spare on the front and got it on there with some bit of difficulty. In the end I ended up putting the truck in 4wd and ramming the dolly under his truck. It was that tight. We dropped the driveshaft and off we went. It did not ride very well. Max I could do was 45-50 and it would sway all over the road. Took him to the Flying J in KY where we swapped tires and waited for his friend Jeff to come with the trailer. The day just sucked.

Here we are on the way home on I40 at the I81 split, Brandon in front and Jeremy behind him:

 

Don't mourn yet, it,s a stroker, it,s your baby. Hope everything works out for you both.

 

I sorry this had to happen to you Jeremy, after all the folks (including me) that you have helped out on this site - it just does not seem fair at all.

 

Here is what we had to work with. As I mentioned, it would not go on with those big tires.

 

Here's the pic of how Mike was towing me. Thanks again Mike for the help.

 

Ive been thinking about this all day. Im sure you were too busy and had too much stuff going on to call me (or the lack thereof, sleep) but this is an eye opener as to people who are at this power level. I knew there are other reasons at the time for the engine to blow in other people's trucks, however in this case, there's nothing in the clear yet. Call me tomorrow if you get time.

 

So, many hours later we arrived at the Flying J in KY. Swapped tires and waited for his buddy in a Dodge to haul it home. Little did we know that it would ride no better on that trailer. We parted ways sometime after midnight and I know I was tired so I bet he was whooped by the time he got home. Sorry for the quality but it was dark. I would just as soon forget that day.

 

No need to thank me. I know you would have done the same. I just wish I could have found a car hauler. I know you would have done the same or whatever was necessary.

 

I was going to post that this has almost got to be a fluke.....but right now I'm wondering if something didn't get stressed when you had your LPOP problems last year.
