So as people on here know we are farmers hooray well to the point we where headed 3 hrs from our house to the butcher with 50 chickens in our truck we left at 2 in the morning to get there by 6 we get there drop the birds off and head home about half way home there is a spark from the blinker switch in the steering colom big sound and big puff of smoke so we pull over to check it all BTW it's an 85 gmc high sierra so every thing works and we get back on the road about 20 miles down the rd luckily next to a little town exit we hear clanking and power steering goes out and then the engine we have just enough speed to take the exit almost to the end we call a wrecker and he says you radiator cracked engine is seized and your oil tank is cracked hooray he called us and this is the nuts part he has the exact engine and water pump and radiator and put them all in for 800 bucks wow lucky we dint have birds when we broke down
 
Rough to have to pay $800 but a blessing he had the stuff you needed!
 
Sounds like a tough thing to go through arky, but it could've turned out much worse. $800 is no small chunk of change but it doesn't seem outrageous, considering. Hope your luck turns better from here.


Cheers,

RR
