A trip gone bad, made tolerable.

After several cancelled attempts at making a road trip from VT to PA due to either weather of life, I finally left on Friday morning for Jaros44sr's place.

The plan was to stay over Friday night at Jim's place and then the two of us were to go into NJ to drop off the car I was trailering down and go parts hunting for our beloved old chevy trucks, a day of nothing but trucks and man space conversation to look forward to.

Well...it didn't work out 'exactly' that way.
The tale in a nutshell:

My truck's an 01 DuraMax and the the "known" issue with these 1st gen diesels are if/when the injectors leak, they leak diesel fuel directly into the crankcase oil.
Yep, you guessed it, this trip was when mine decided to do just that.
We emptied almost 5 gallons of fluid out Sat. morning. (oil/fuel mix)

Details can follow but the main reason for this post is to thank Jim for all his help and efforts.
For two days, his focus was making sure I was taken care of!

Huge thanks to Jim and his family for making a trip gone bad, better!
