Day 27 – I went in early to have a new water pump installed in the truck. Much to my amazement, Chevrolet no longer makes the 8.1L engine, the best engine ever put into a Chevrolet truck. No water pump was available anywhere in town, one had to be ordered from Tulsa. However, delivery could not be made until 2 p. m., then it would be a two hour job to replace the pump. I didn’t get back to the campground until about 5 p.m. I read every magazine in the Chevrolet dealer’s showroom, and went into sticker shock at the prices posted on new cars and trucks. But I returned back home with a functioning truck and a lighter wallet. It was too late to proceed on down the road so had to wait for the next day before leaving. In the meantime, Carrie and Jerry again had to “motel” it.

Yikes! Hate hearing about the truck problems since we have the same truck.
