Taking to Miguel's. In Indio now. Gmc is on a flatbed. It wont be cheap ride but I need people I can trust. Miguel is the one for us now. 213 miles from Q to his shop.
thanks so much for all of the fone calls and offers of help. I just can not thank folks enuff. Will have a write up on the blog when we get settled. About 100 miles to go.
Thank you everyone. Sorry for late update. Internet was in GMC and I could not stay close enuff to keep us online. I grabbed it here at truckstop and put in car.

Sorry to hear about the breakdown. I always though that the GoodSam towing was a fair deal, but now I see you don't get much for your $100 a year.
I hope you find something minor that sounded major.

1,084 dollars and we are here in Miguel's lot, safe and sound. I am going to rest good tonight. I will see what Progressive says, I have the bill. This is in addition to what they charged Good Sam. I do not know what that cost. The best I could get from the supervisor was Good Sam's would tow 50 miles or to nearest person that said they could fix our coach. I know I got ripped good but I am where I wanted to be. I know Miguel is going to take care of us with help from Jim K, parts, and Manny, our parts carrier. I may or may not need Good Sams in the future, depending on what Progressive says. While teri was reading our Progressive policy today she found that we no longer have a deductible on our windshields, and one of them is fogging bad.
Thank you again for all of your support. Meant more to Teri and me than you will ever know.
Should you want to see exactly where Miguel's shop is, go check the tracker, WD0AFQ or WD0AFQ-1.

I was never in Dan's situation during my GMC days. Once, in eastern Colorado, wintertime, my bags went down (compressor went south) and I aired them up at a gas station from the front fitting. At my destination, Ft Collins, I bought a sears compressor, and at NAPA, bought shrader valves for each bag and fittings to screw them in. Always carried that stuff after that.
My GM 4106 bus blew the top off it's muffler and that round piece of steel "took a ride" thru my radiator with the help the fan. I needed a tow, 60 miles, and AAA sent a wrecker out. We stopped every 10 miles to run the engine so my tranny would be lubed. Did not disconnect the driveshaft. So, AAA worked for me. I worry about Good Sam because I don't think AFfinity is in very good shape.

Dan Teri,
Glad you are in good hands and can take care of it and get back on the road.you might consider a towing service with a rv package.only has a 100 mile radius but you get a credit tords the call depending on what you towed...
You can also get a cheap cam five megapixel for less than 60 bucks if your near a target store.with software cd and cables.
Goodluck

Dan,
I will have a long block shipped out from the machone shop Monday if you need it now.
You'll need a professionally cleaned oil cooler in the radiator.
If we take short cut here like most, you'll have problems sooner than you like.
I will send you additional oil supplements. Make sure you mix it with the oil your going to use. If you pour it in, your wasting your time. Mix it , it takes long time for the engine to mix it.
Migil knows what to do, but you can make sure its done that way.
