Bound to happen, on my 3rd year at this and my first break down under a load. Truck just up and quit on the 465 bypass, roadside repair couldn't fixit, so was towed to Stoops. Had to tranfers load...:banghead: And been waiting all day to get truck in shop, first told would get it in the shop by 10, then 3 and now saying 8pm. So I gave up and got a room.

Welcome to the stoops experience. Worst part is when they do say its fixed is often it isn't.

But seriously good luck hope it goes well.

Stoops called, a nut had backed off in the heui pump so a gear wouldn't engage the injector pump. Good news was it hadn't come complely off, so its a simple repair.

You know they have got to be honest to tell you it's a repair and not a replacement to the HEUI pump. Never had a problem with Stoops in the old days.

Currently about 32 and a couple of inches of snow on the ground here in Greenville, SC. Roads are wet from what I can tell. Just a quick, odd little snow shower for the area. Sure does look neat though.
