Broke Down 69...The Adventure Continues

Well, I'm awake and waiting on tow driver to come and pick me up so I can be with the truck at the shop.

Just hope it can be fixed in a reasonable time.

 

Long day setting in a driver's lounge waiting. They've stripped the engine pretty much bare and found it wasn't a rod bearing, it was a cam bearing. Their shop is open 24 hours during the week and despite my strenuous objections, my owner has ok'd different mechanics to work around the clock to get it done asap. I'm not a fan of having different hands in what amounts to an in frame, but they've convinced him that they can have it done in two days and he ain't listening to me. Hopefully they do it right. At any rate, another night in a hotel...dull and unprofitable.

How's y'alls day been?

 

Yeah, I laughed when I heard that also, but they told the head honcho they could do it and he believed it. My guess is if everything goes perfect they'll be done around Thursday...then it's anyones guess whether it'll hold together.

We'll see, I never would have believed they'd get her took completely apart in around 8.5 hours but they did and they do have their own machine shop on site...I'm just very skeptical.
