Truck is ready -
Just got word truck is ready. New fuel rails, injectors, cleaning the fuel system and a fresh oil change. I haven't heard it run but the mechanic says it is good to go. Wish me luck. $8993.00 Ouch! They fuel station is paying. They have been great but after today I will not be mentioning their name as they want me to sign a complete confidentiality agreemant as part of their Release in Full.

That kind of surprises me. You'd think that a company that does the right thing for a customer would want others to know about it.

I got her back. It runs good. Just like before. I don't know what a motor costs MJ but the parts on the Duramax were darn expensive. Injectors were $600/ea. Twelve and a half hours labor. Two fuel logs, approx $600 ea., oil change, filters, more labor. I agree you could buy a nice vehicle for $9k. This one is a 2006 with only 48,000 miles, they didn't want to buy it so they fixed it.
The fuel station does not want the state to get involved. They would have more explaining to do so they want it quiet. They took great care of me. I am so happy to have my truck back. It was quite an ordeal. Managed to hit the water and do some fishing Saturday. My buddy Bruce and I got our redfish early and started for some speckled trout. I ended up with a 26" red and we culled one of the 19" we caught earlier. Then he caught one keeper trout. Beautiful weather.

That's a beauty. In Louisiana that is a keeper but not in FL. We have a slot with none allowed over. Man they pull good. I saw where you had a great vacation. Congratulations

Dang - I just had the motor rebuilt in my Yukon for $6993.00 less than that. Wow. I'm glad you didn't have to pay.
