I think in retrospect its a miracle it made it here too. It is well and truly in NY at the moment and tomorrow its going on a flatbed to SF. Nowhere near Bakersfield. The engine in it is going in the trash and Ill be starting totally a fresh. I think out of respect for my poor truck she needs a really big break and really good engine to say sorry.. LOL
