I let my buddy use my truck for a night and apparently he doesn't know how to drive standard. My clutch is completely shot and I have a South Bend on the way. Here's my problem, I'm stationed by Camp Pendleton, CA and my parents live by Fresno, CA ( a little over 300 miles ) and I need to get it home to the shop to do the repairs. My brother in law has an '03 Duramax and he says he'll tow me home in a couple of weeks.... Anyone have some advice that can help me out?

Maybe I should just suck it up and do the repair in the parking lot vs. having a Duramax tow me 300 mi. for all to see.....

Just take some shoe polish and write a real fast time on your windows if you get towed

You need to make a poll. Get Towed by A Duramax? or Do the Job in the parking lot?

My vote goes for doing the job in the parking lot.

 

[DavidLVG]

Great idea.... I have until this weekend to decide. If I get enough votes I'll decide off the pole.

I say get it towed... suck up the pride a little bit... I would 10 to one rather work on it at home ( or parent's what ever) versus trying to work in a parking lot to me that would be more embarrassing then having it towed

My father does have the 75'x75' shop...

 

[tclappcummins]

and im certain your father has way more tools then you would have in the parking lot... never know what you might run into ... ya know Murphy's law

tow it... besides if you ride with him in that max you might realize what a great truck it really is.. I have owned 2 of them.... Just could not afford the 40k truck and payments..

Tow it. I would hate to pull a transmission in a parking lot. If something unexpected happens and you end up waiting for parts or something you are stuck out in the weather.

Your kidding me!! Have a friend that had a Duramax, caught on fire with him on his way to town one day and burn about 100 yards of barditch. O ya i really want one of them

write like 8.5 or somethin on the window, and get towed..

I will admit that he has the better in cab options.... and his ac works....

 

[01dodge91ford]

get it towed. i hate not working in my shop, or a shop

 

[dodgetank98]

tow it and write 9.3 at 200MPH on the window! it will make people thing about your truck not the one towing it...

that sucks i tell anyone that wants to drive my truck if you can get it in gear have at it so i dont have to worry about them putting the clutch out cause no one can get it in gear worth a dam theres a trick to it i think somethings major wrong with the tranny or synchros but i guess i do have a dual disk i dont see a problem with doing it in a parking lot bought the same as a shop but inside is always better i like the fast time idea on the window its not uncommon to see a duramax pull a dodge cause even duramax guys know what they need to be competitve a cummins when i think duramax i think pretty clean town car
