WARMER TEMPS

[Hammerhead]

I'm sorry to hear that...and I feel your pain!
About three years ago the seal let go in my fan hub in NC. None of the dealers said they could look at it for almost a week, so I (insert brain fart here) figured "it's just a fan hub, the T/A said they could do it that evening..."
Well my ahem wrench accidentally dropped one of the flat washers down inside the shroud and didn't know it. Well the next morning I pull out of the T/A around the 32mm on I40 and part way up the hill my fan engages, woosh from the air, poof from the coolant blasting all over the place. I limp her to the next exit at the top of the hill and call the T/A and tell them to bring coolant, lots I'm leaking it fast. They said, "we'll send a tow truck" and I told them "no, you'll need two if you do that. A wrecker to get me, and a second power unit to tow this OS wagon and all new permits, just send the road service truck with about 10 gallons"
Of course, the closest rad for this T800 Wide Hood was in Vegas...by the time we got a rad and got me put back together I could have waited for the dealer that was talking 5-6 days before they could get me in.
I was there for 5 1/2 days!
I'm sorry, I feel your pain.
