There is about a hundred members on here that don't "go to them" any more, and wouldn't be caught dead letting some OEM shop do repairs while they gouged them to death in costs. I don't blame them at all.

My truck has a million miles on it, my wife and her son drive my truck now, they go 48 states, and neither of them really do repairs on the road. I STILL would not let them "go to them" as you would say. I would drive 3,000 miles to rescue my truck if I had to, or get it flat-bedded here before I would let that happen. I have even driven it from Los-angeles to atlanta, bobtail, on a popped turbo before. Even had her drive it for a week on the APU alternator because the main alternator failed. -- If there is any way possible to do the absolute minimum to the truck to get it here for repairs, I will find a non-oem shop near them to do so just to get it limped home.

More importantly though,.. I do VERY THOROUGH inspections and replace things as they wear before they put me down. This prevents the bulk of any kind of problems you will ever have.
