On Friday, we were on our way from Palmer Lake, CO to Glacier Park. Didn't quite make it. About 15 miles out of Casper, our 6331 quit. My wife was driving as I was dozing. I woke up to "what's happening"? I looked over and the speedometer was occilating between 0 and 75, just bouncing around, the other gauges were all doing odd things and the rig was pulsating. We pulled over, let it idle for a few minutes, turned it off and that was that. Would not turn over at all. Good Sam roadside assistance got us a tow to the KOA in Casper and we are waiting for the Internation Truck shop in Casper to open Monday morning. When we find out what the issue is, I'll post it. Towing the rig was not too hard at all. The wrecker driver was real glad to see we had a mechanical parking brake as that made taking the drive shaft (short piece by the rearend) out easier, so he said. This is the first problem we have had and sure could have been worse, we could have been in the middle of nowhere, which is a lot of Wyoming, most of which is without cell service.
