This is hard to believe.  I thought it was going to last but compatability just went away. 

Maybe if I get under this thing one more time and maybe if I can find a slightly thicker bearing to make up the difference I could at least drive this thing the ~500 miles back home until I can get a new engine. Been rolling the dice and losing a lot lately, but something has to give. 8 days in a Flying J truck stop is no bueno.  Luckily the GM is a nice guy and understanding and is cool with my presence. I at least feel safe, here. 

Now what?

I'd like to go home.  🤠🤷

Everything.  Storm blew through last night and things are hit.
