Hi all,
Wolf Creek is about 60 miles up I-5 from me.
They're getting it towed to my shop in south Medford.

last I heard, it will barely move or function.
Does sound like serious internal trans malfunction.
it's a rebuilt trans with not much known about it, in service for 'not
forever' .

Thanks for the referral Loren,
keepin'  it all in the family here .
