Help! SOS, I need a tow!

[Hot COCOAL]

Long story short, I'm on the side of I-5 with my handicapped daughter in California, just south of Mercy Springs Rd, in Los Banos.

Any one know a tow truck guy?
And anyone want to help me swap an engine?

Because my crank just broke...
Cruise set at 78, then out of nowhere the tach started bouncing all around and I had no power...I had just stopped and got fuel about 10 miles before that...

Anyways, hope everyone's day turns out better than mine started.
Any help is appreciated:hug:

I Need to find the most local shop, that is known to the DD crew, too
Thoughts?

Dang man that sucks! I hope someone can help u out.. Mayb it will turn out to b something else and not your crank!!!!

Guy at Socal is about 3 and a half hours down the 5, probably looking at 200 + miles of tow though.

Sent the word out to Nick (paint) and Anthony (gmduramax) as they live by where your at. hope you get taken care of buddy. i wouldnt condemn a broke crank yet though :hug:

 

[Hot COCOAL]

It's definately a broke crank...

P0336
P0606

And it pretty much sounds like I'd expect a broke crank to sound like and the engine acts like I'd expect an engine with a broke crank to act...

Wooohooo
Let the fun begin...

FAK
Ive had too much "fun" already...

 

[Chevy1925]

well that sucks...

Pull the belt and see if the balancer moves. Hopefully one of these guys can get you picked up and hopefully it isn't a crank....

Thanks James!
Looks like SoCal Diesel is where it will be going...can't complain about that
The Good, The Bad and expensive ugly...

 

[TROJAN366]

and don't run it unless you absolutely need to. You would definitely risk more damage to the block

Balancer almost fell off...looks like, and I'd bet, the break happened at the #1 main
