Archived TRUCK DOWN IN UTAH! Cedar city, Parowan, Bryce area

[Motorhead]

Guys, I have a 73 year old horse lady stranded in the Cedar city, parowan area with a transmission issue. She is a LONG time friend and neighbor and I make extra efforts to keep her 2002, 3500 dually, 2 wheel drive, AUTOMATIC in top condition for her to travel with her horse and horse trailer. She was leaving cedar city this AM and her friends following her said they saw smoke coming from the truck. She was on Highway 20 pulling lots of hils and I think the trans overheated and blew out oil from the dip stick. I talked to her and she said it was leaking RED oil. The truck is BEING TOWED to PANGUITCH Utah on highway 89. If there is ANY MEMBER in this area that can help or guide me to tell her a good trans shop that won't rip her off, I'd appreciate it. She and I both live in the central coast area of Calif. so she is a way from home. PM me with any recommendations or your phone number. Thanks, Chris

Heres what has happend. the trans hard line fron the engine cooler to the trans cracked and spewed out oil. Her truck was towed to Paul's Auto Repair in Panguitch, UT where one of the mechanics is a 2001 Dodge/Cummins owner. He has seen several of these lines break. This shop is a good place to go if you are on your way to Bryce canyon.
