The temperature was 100 degrees plus, so I attributed it to vapor lock. At first it was cutting out only when accelerating, but on the way back to Green Valley from Steve Ferguson's in Sierra Vista, (he was kind enough to look at it for me), it was cutting out while driving on the freeway as well.

Steve graciously came to Green Valley, (an 82 mile trip), and attempted to help, but even with his expertise I screwed it up too much to be fixed right away. I would have had to wait until the next morning, Monday, to have it towed to a repair facility to have it worked on, which meant that my wife and I would miss our flight to Michigan.

I am going to be gone almost a week, and he is also keeping it at his home until I return. I don't know what I would have done without him. People are always commenting on how great GMCers are ... Steve is one of the greatest of them all!
