It's been a LONG two weeks that have extended into almost 3.
Quick trip up north to Washington to help MIL. No problem...
So far..
1. Everyone's been sick - really sick including the dog.
2. Tow jeep dead battery miles away from town. No jumper cables of course.
3. Limped off the coast inland and thought huge screaming noise was simply a fan belt AC/Compressor. Took off fan belt and thought it was sounding better and we could limp forward to repair. Oh, the thoughts of the non-mechanical. Huge exhaust manifold leak.
4. Shut engine off on busy I-5 where little to no shoulder only 40 miles from scheduled repair place. Could reach out and touch passing trucks.
5. Tow truck required. Enough said.
6. Exhaust manifold replaced. Told the "shut engine" thing was operator error (throttle error) and couldn't reproduce.
7. Left repair place after three days. Within 100 miles more "stop engine" bells, alarms... check transmission.. on and off warnings and bells. Pull over fix code.. back within 5 miles. All the way to Grants Pass.
8. Limped to friends house. No error codes luckily.
9. Had Cummins mobile repair come to us to get codes. Believe throttle sensor issue. Electronics not talking. Transmission not getting right information and shutting down the entire engine.
10. Will hear today how much and when part can be received.
11. Will probably require a few more days imposing on our friends and we're missing a few important things. Plus, our DD now has pneumonia.
