April 1st – Happy Valley/Goose Bay, Newfoundland
Apr 4th, 2018 by rallyadmin
Happy Easter. Which is the only thing to be happy about. The truck is at Performance Automotive in Goose Bay. We’re in the Royal Inn down the block and around the corner. We’re inside and warm so I guess there’s that to be happy about.
Jeremiah has decided to fly out tonight. I certainly don’t blame him or have a problem with that. We’re going to be stranded here for at least until Tuesday unless a real miracle happens tomorrow morning. He has things that he can’t put off next week and he had already thought about flying home from Quebec City and that was before we got stranded. It’s been great having him along this far.
Around 10:30 I get a call from Justin the owner of Performance. He’s looked at the truck but can only agree that the MIL code says “Low Pressure on Fuel Rail.” We already knew that. Then the warning that it could be something as simple as a loose connector or as serious as a bad fuel pump. He left out the part where it might be cheaper to buy a new truck. (He didn’t really say that.)
He does say, thjough, that he can’t get anyone to work on the truck today. He’ll get it into the shop tomorrow some time to diagnose the problem and they’ll call with news sometime tomorrow.
I might as well get comfy. We’re going to be here for a while.
