Arriving in Oregon today. Minus the car.

Well it was not pretty. We were towed 110 miles to Sacramento. That's where the closest Hummer dealership is located. I think we got a bit lucky with it's location. They are the nations number one seller of H1s. So they deal with a lot of them. Hopefully that equals some better expertise.

That was the good news. Now the bad news. The bearing was just a small part of the issues. We actually lost our transfer case. When they were checking the transfer case they identified that the transmission has some serious problems. Reverse is shot and the rest of the gears are in questionable condition. Since we would have fixed that stuff anyway when we got home I'm just having them do it. We'll see how big the bill will be. I'm estimating $5000 to $8000.

They can not fix this overnight. They estimate 2 weeks to fix everything. So....... We have booked a flight back to Portland.

A few people have mentioned that they wanted to see pictures of the inside of the car. This is me last night writing my roadside report.

We took a few pictures of it being towed for your viewing pleasure.

Oh and.... My wife does not know I'm arriving home today. It will be a nice surprise for her.
