Thursday late afternoon I discover water pump on my Duramax leaking.
Friday afternoon my mechanic, that knew I had camping plans and was giving it his all, informed me that a bolt snapped and we were done.
He could not get a replacement bolt until Tuesday! Truck could not be finished without new bolt.
After hearing the bad news,I sat at my Nexus 7 tablet surfing the net, contemplating my revised weekend plans. I came upon a Craigslist advertisement for RV towing.
"5th wheel,bumper pull I tow it all" the ad read.
I could not resist making a call. We agreed on a price.
7 A.M Saturday morning a stranger showed up with a F-350 with a gooseneck adapter hitch.
The rest is history. I camped all weekend and had a great time.
Nothing like a happy ending.
I swear you are the luckiest guy I know! Glad you were able to go camping and hope you got the truck back together! One thing about GM, seems like dealer parts inventory is way down and everything is being stocked in regional warehouses. Next business day delivery doesn't help when it's a holiday weekend....
