Over the phone diagnostics & on the road repairs are things that cause major headaches & wallet hurt sometimes. Sounds like the good Lord & good luck is on her side though!

The thing that's bothering us now is this: one morning after she got back to Michigan her truck wouldn't start. She called for a tow and the driver asked to look at it first. He found the fuel filter housing was loose and it had lost prime. I had just had the fuel filter(s) changed in Billings before she came and got the pickup and drove it back east I also had the dealer drain/flush/refill the engine coolant, and now the mechanic in Denver says he found a loose clamp on the bypass hose. I can't imagine that they would have messed with that at the dealer but it sure is making me wonder ...? Obviously, I'm not too happy with the Chevy dealer right now. We didn't buy her pickup from them because they don't keep anything that old on the lot, but I bought a 2016 from them a year ago, and I had over a grand worth of service done on the 2002. Anyway, I'm glad that it's something relatively simple and not something like a head gasket. Now she's got to get a ride back over the mountains next week to get her pickup back. I think when she gets back over to the ranch that she should load up the trailer real heavy and drive it up the west side of Monarch Pass and back just to test it out on a hard pull before she ever takes off with a loaded trailer on a long trip again She's only about 30 miles west of the summit where she's staying now.
