    That was not an option as the truck was out of Antifreeze. Now it was warm out as it is in Miami FL.

    On another note I at least have a video that shows he did not do it and says it will be ok. Will surely have to sue them as I doubt they would just pay for it.

    Oh, I got that. I was just commenting on that particular tow. I think that there may be other issues besides the pump with I-shift if you don't drop the drive shaft

    I wouldn't move one 10 feet without pulling a driveline. IShifts are one of the most sensitive when it comes to towing and I'm not paying for one.

    Thanks for info. Yeah I am gonna guess he messed it up. If I hadn't of been so stressed and pissed waiting 4 hrs in rush hour traffic I would had caught it as I thought I heard this before. Gonna be a big mess I can see coming. I at least have it on video that he admits to pulling it without doing his job right.

    This sounds cliché, but, the day this is no longer true, that's the day you need to turn in your keys.

    Don’t know what grounds you have but maybe get Volvo involved and make the tow company flip the bill to pull and verify the Tranny is ok
    Or have them agree to a warranty of some sort??

    Who knows what will happen a year out??

    Don't mean to derail the thread, but did you solve the issues with your truck that you had other day in Salt Lake City? What was the aftermath?

    You can’t tow a truck with an I shift, DT 12 or endurant transmission without pulling drive shaft or axles. Read your owners manual
