Well - I made it to Ashland, VA to get the tranny fixed... They sent a mechanic out and he beat the X-Y shifter into submission. I guess it was froze up. Now I gotta wait for them to fix it. Hooo boy...

As soon as I hit the "Post" button, the shop manager came out and knocked on my door. Eaton recommends that when the X-Y shifter goes out, to replace the shifter, the wiring harness and the TCM. Parts only: $3,122.
Now I remember why I don't own a truck.

GolfHobo would have been on Line 5 so fast that the gears would still be spinning in the transmission case. (or not spinning)
I have to wonder how the VA DOT officer would have responded when GolfHobo retorted that he is now not in control of that CMV, it is parked and Golfhobo has already dropped down to Line 5? Great lesson to be learned here.

Nope - I was in Chesterfield, VA on 360 when I broke. But, yup, it was Colonial.
Now I get to sit until tomorrow am. Can't even schedule my delivery until after 8am when the place opens up. Oh well, it's easy parking bobtail in the T/A here - my trailer is still at Colonial.
