Caboobaroo Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I got a call from Pat about two hours ago. He was about 55 miles south of Casper, Wy on I-25 but he lost his 4wd in his rig. He was asking about the best way to get here because the roads are NASTY! Hopefully he'll be able to make it here in about 5 hours or so but he said he's doin about 35-40mph...

NorthWet Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Hi folks. Thanks for all of your concerns and well wishes. Things are getting sorted out... the 4wd dieing was a real pain, and shows that even new, $20k cars can have troubles. That, and I was really wishing for a 4wd lever that I could just pull. I lost all of the wiring on the tow dolly... they routed some of it inside the fender well, so when Snow was kicked up on it it just iced over and eventually broke under the weight. Same for the wiring exposed along the axle. Thank goodness for wallyworld. The passes were pretty nasty, and was especially unpleasant when the 4wd didn't work. Things should be better now... ice storms notwithstanding. The high points have all been the people along the way. Pat out in Moxee, Monstaru and Baccaruda in Spokane, Caboobaroo here. And, amazingly, several auto service people like the Speedy Lube guy in Bozeman and the Ford Service guy in Douglas, WY, who had 3 days of work scheduled before me, but took the time to do some general diagnostics and call around for a shop that wasn't swamped. And, not to sound too cheesy, you folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
