A dear friend blew a head gasket in Arkansas

lowbudgetjunk · Jan 26, 2015

I have a friend in Conway, Arkansas that is having engine troubles. I got him a job interview in Tulsa tomorrow. He has enough cash to get a rental in the morning, but doesn't want to abandon his truck. Anyone have a place he could keep his truck for a week? I could drive out and pick it up on the weekend if need be, just don't want to leave it on the side if the road.

Thank you sir. I think he has limped it to one of the rental companies parking lots.

Thanks for the heads-up, Stano. Going to see if I can find something to help.

Does he still need assistance, or the rental car parking lot will suffice?

I know it is good at Hertz until Thursday. I am going to try and find him a way to get it back to here. I can't leave out til Sunday. I have a few contacts with trailers that haul, but most of them are headed west right now. Winter in the North East came at the wrong time I guess. Hell, if I could get it a hundred or two miles closer to here, that'd be awesome, but not likely.

PM if you need assistance. I will help however I can!

head gasket? or another patron?

Got parents that live just outside of conway. What vehicle, and where does it need hauled back to?? May be able to lend a hand.

lowbudgetjunk · Jan 27, 2015

He is in Tulsa today and tomorrow. I won't hear from him until after his X-ray and pressure test tomorrow. My worst case scenario is picking him up in Conway. It's about 370 miles each way, so I can turn and burn if need be. Hell, I may head up after work and just get it done.

I appreciate the help and will let you guys know if I need any help.

What kind of vehicle?

I'm guessing 6.0 ford
I say we guess until someone gets it correct

It's a 1991 toyota with 22RE, 2wd. 6.0 Ford was a good guess. I'm gonna trouble shoot my ford and buy a second fuel pump for the trip. I kill them every 700 miles.
