All tow places balking at allstate's ridiculous reimbursement rates and cannot get a tow. Having a mobile mechanic with me now and looking to get the alternator belt on and just keep fingers crossed we can make it the 90 miles to Ken's on our own without anything blowing up.

Hi Jared,

Since a lot of the really knowledgable GMCers are on the road, I'll post some info I copied separately off the net years ago from two excellent authorities, Richard (Arch) Archer and Emery.

"I prefer to have the front tires lifted and towed that way. That is the least damaging method that we have seen. We have a contract with a towing co. and they use this method. It is always good to repeat to them: FRONT WHEEL DRIVE, 26 FT. LONG, 12,000 lbs. Otherwise they will bring over a big unit and charge you big time. Be sure to raise the rear 2-3 inch. If your compressor is dead, the truck will have air to raise it up.

Take Care Arch

If you have to be towed just tell them that you have a front wheel drive with the front end approx. 4,000 pounds and the total weight about 12,000 pounds. Also tell them that you want a front wheel lift truck and about how many miles that you want to be towed.

Emery Stora"

Good luck to you, you'll be in good hands with Ken Frey.
