Subject: Stuck in Visalia, CA
We were in the beautiful Stoney Creek campground, Sequoia National Park yesterday morning, and had a very difficult time getting the engine started. I literally had to run the starter for 30 seconds, 3 - 4 times until it finally kicked over. Quite reluctantly.
We made it down from the mountains.
11 miles north of the city of Visalia, on Highway 63, we came to a stop at a stoplight. I could feel the engine faltering. With the green light, I accelerated across the intersection, but there it died.
It would not re-start.
Called Triple-A, and 30 minutes later we were being towed to Roger Vogt's repair shop, www.PerformanceAutoAndAir.com<http://www.PerformanceAutoAndAir.com>. We arrived there at about 4:30 yesterday afternoon.
Roger introduced himself, and told us that he had worked on several GMCs over the years. He said that they would go to work first thing this morning, and would call to let us know what can be done to get us back on the road.
Their courtesy car took us to a near-by Mariott, where we are now.
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
