Broke Down In Tusayan, AZ
Alternator went bad while visiting the Grand Canyon (South Rim). I made it to a campground, got a ride 100 miles round trip to get the alternator. I changed out the Alternator no problem.
EXCEPT I DROPPED THE BREAKER BAR AND IT HIT THE BACK OF THE RADIATOR. NICE HOLE IN BACK OF THE RADIATOR.
Anybody near Williams, AZ?

All the stuff I've done to this truck I've don't remember ever breaking anything. Now, 1400 miles from home I manage it. We have RV/Tow vehicle assistance through RVNet and a local told me about a diesel mechanic 27 miles away. Right now the plan is to have it towed there and then take a bending over to get it fixed.
Edit: When the alternator went bad the idiot light never came on. But the pyro died and the ABS light came on...Then I noticed my Scan Gauge getting dim. I pulled over and scrolled it to Volts and it read 9.2. Almost didn't make it to this campground. It wouldn't even roll up the windows when it was running.
