sick truck!




Laurie had noticed a spray in the wheel wells a couple of days ago. He was monitoring it - and then there were drips left behind when we parked. On Easter Sunday we had to put in 2 more quarts of transmission fluid in and bought two more to get us down the road. By the time we got to Moab, it was a major leak - can you see the bucket under the truck? Then Laurie borrowed a wrench - he thought it was a loose fitting, but discovered a split line (maybe hitting the tumble weed?). within minutes the whole transmission was drained! Luckily by this time we had settled in to the KOA campsite. On Monday, we had the truck hauled to a garage and they said they could fix it Tuesday if the part arrived. So we rented a car and carried on with our exploration! Weird to be sleeping in the camper off the truck!
