Broke down in Picayune Mississippi ... Need a lowboy to haul back to Louisiana

[simp5782]

Jeff can get it to his yard on a towbar or his wrecker. I could get it moved to Louisiana on a trailer this weekend

So give him a call. He's in Hattiesburg

I'm paranoid about the transmission. she wasent pulling right. I was in mode. in 5th she started slowing down. I pulled over quick. she shifted hard in 1st and 2nd gear. It has to be low. Something is leaking. She went 500 miles before i had problems. I'm tempted to go back to Picayunne with oil, top it off and see what happens. that's a 3 hr drive for a gamble. crap. The another 5 hrs of driving back if it works.

Does it still have motor oil in the transmission or has some one changed it to transmission fluid (red) if its still oil find any where you can gen get 15/40 make sure its full drive it till it starts to warm up pull over let it cool for a while limp home in 50 mile jumps if it feels ok to drive but if not it will cost like hell if you shell the tranny its a hard decision worst case park it in a walmart or truckstop and get a ride home then you have time to make a less costly decision

I'm currently home in Louisiana 3 hrs from the truck. I'm very tempted to make that trip tonight. 3 hrs isn't far. Take a gamble

i'm 90% certain it has motor oil in it. looks like motor oil. what kind of oil should i top it off with if i choose to try to limp it back?

 

[simp5782]

15w40. Or dex 3. Doesn't hurt to mix the 2 for emergency purposes. It'll even run with water if it had to

shell rotella 15/40 but any truck 15/40 if you cant get rotella

 

[simp5782]

@juanprado is in that area and could maybe lend a hand in the I12/10 Area with a towbar.

@profo has the same in New Iberia

3hrs so I'm assuming you are going to Lafayette/Broussard

 

[bradybroussard]

Youngsville so yeah. Lafayette area

I've alerted @Csm Davis. He is not too far away or call him 6012643453

@MississippiRifle is in that area too

It's everywhere!

You might forget it. Why your mom always pinned a note on ya

If it was my truck, I'd have CSM Davis repair it and drive it home. You will need to repair it anyway even if you have it transported for you. Probably save a lot of money.

Did you make it home? No takers on the FREE LMTV in the parking lot I hope.

 

[bradybroussard]

Home. Slow going but got home under her own power. Greatly appreciate all the help. Best group of people ever. Military truck owners.
