Normally you hear Blacklist and negative images go through your mind. In the case of the GMC blacklist, it's just the opposite. We started out yesterday on a potential trip of 3-4 weeks into the northeast with our ultimate destination being Nova Scotia. After throwing an alternator belt and vapor locks in the heat yesterday, I'd hoped for a more relaxing day today. So when I hit the ignition this morning and she wouldn't turn over,
I was not a "Happy camper" to say the least. After spending a couple hours troubleshooting to no avail, my wife got on the Internet and checked the list for Georgia. I called Ken Henderson and he validated the steps I had taken,and also suggested more things to check to no avail (thanks Ken you were on the right track), then I called Johnny Bridges for his insight. He spent almost 30 minutes talking through the steps he'd take, even going out to his own vehicle and comparing wires to mine. When he couldn't help me get positive results on the phone he said "I'm coming over". Over was 2 hours away but he came over and brought a distributor cap off his vehicle. We hooked it up and she fired right up. He would not accept anything in return - pay it forward he said- and the simple thank you we both gave him seems so inadequate. Once again, thank you Johnny!

Thanks for the report, Nelson.
Thank you Johnny for being such a valued member of the list and for your
determination to succeed at getting Nelson on the road.
This note is going in the "kudos" section!
