I ma sitting here waiting for a part for my truck. The serp belt shredded leaving us stranded on the east bound I 70 between Idaho springs and Evergreen. No biggie, we have road side service from Farmers. The problem was they couldn't find a two service for us. They found one in Evergreen, but they canceled saying they couldn't two our truck. So finally after an hour they found a tow company from Silverthorne, which is 60 or 70 miles to the west of us. It took about 3 hours and $250 to get hooked up and towed about 10 miles to Golden. That's on top of the $150 that Farmers payed. I had made arrangements to be towed to Christopher dodge world to have the repairs made. Being stranded with no access to a phone book, we were dependent on the info given by Farmers and the tow company.
Your probably thinking shame on you for not keeping your truck properly maintained, the serp belt was replaced about 6 to 7 months ago. Ya know, you don't want to get stranded with a broken belt, especially since our newer autos only have one belt.
I'll finish this a little later....yea there's more.
