had the best weekend ever the boat ran fantastic no issues at all. then we  left for home. my truck broke down about 200 miles from home in the mountains. no cell service, had to hitch hike an hour to call a tow truck then waited 6 hours for it to come , then to get the truck and boat home cost us $1200.00 ouch. now just waiting to find out why it just died like it ran out of diesel.  :banghead:

thanks Mark , yeah the truck deal sucks, right after a $10000  tractor transmission job. I hope this is a small repair or it might kill my trip to BR. I sure hope not  :banghead:

had the truck towed to the diesel repair shop in town today.they say its the fuel pump in the tank. looks like it will cost about $1500.00 to fix so looks like we will still be coming to BR.they are replacing the pump with one they mount outside the tank with a water separator and addotional filter which i like because all the fuel that truck burns comes from our on farm above groiund storage tank and even though we have filter and water trap the tank is old and rusty insde
