I always stop and try to help anybody, especially with Family, blessings to you and your family Sir.

[@mikebiggs798]

This is a true testimony to show that even the well experienced get stranded at times and may need help. You and your family made the good out of a bad situation.

[@DJ-zw8kw]

You and your family are truly amazing. What a positive attitude. Hats off to the Tow truck driver and the dealership.

Rockin the ghost Murphy's Diesel logo. Dinero is going to be working for free for a long time.

[@timmorin69]

This is a crappy situation but remember that if that happens to you and you are in a position to just purchase $100,000 dollar truck and have it delivered to the side of the road within an hour or two, you are still very very blessed. I know you've worked your tail off to be in that position but still. For about %90 of people that would have been a vacation ender, and a very tough situation to recover from with the cost of the tow and repairs. That's a beauty of a new truck!! Good luck with the rest of the vacation!

[@DonPerry-nx4sr]

Good people attract good people. That Ram dealer was a real gem, as was the wrecker that helped you out. You're the man Wrecker Rick, modifying and fitting the hitch on the spot as you did!! Have a great holiday with your beautiful family and enjoy your time together. As for De Niro, lessons sometimes have to be learned the hard way. Having your engine let go due to his inattention and leaving you stranded is far more serious that him using your fuel card.

[@jaygraham5407]

This is why you do the work yourself.

Wow sorry all u guys had a terrible experience on ur vacation. But good job dad ur a real badass 👏

[@petermccuskey1832]

Thank God you had a service truck. Reminds me of 3 of our trips a few decades ago

[@MZ-bl6wg]

I’ll never complain about getting a flat tire on vacation again! Your attitude after blowing an engine on a new truck and nothing else going right with the hitch etc and having to buy a new truck is inspiring , can always stay positive

[@ryanpaulson7653]

Life!!!! Always something. I love the attitude of all involved. You are all so laid back. I love it. Safe travels.

[@MKYRR]

That is what you call a Jack of all trades, wheel’n dealer,welder,dad. New truck looks slick,guessing by the comments you’re keeping it, oughta get one of those sneaky wheel lifts for it and make it the personal rig

[@HannsGruber]

In years past, to keep going down the road, after something hit my radiator and ruined a couple rows, I took a knife, cut out the fins around the rows, split the row in two, and used needle nose pliers to roll and pinch the rows off. It'll work in a, no pun intended, pinch.

[@christopherwebber1104]

Love how parts are so hard to get on these new trucks, get ready people.

The new truck looks mighty good with that ghost wrap and pulling the toy hauler.

[@MURPHYSDIESEL]

Thank you! I thought it looked pretty good my self, got some 37’s for it, should look even better

[@BuckInchuteranch1]

I had a similar experience with my family. All packed in my 93 f350 CC 7.3IDI. Idler pulley came apart, shredded the belt and ripped passenger side battery cable off. We were on our way to a job interview for me and were going to stay the night in Bakersfield, CA. We made it to Tulare,CA from Sacramento. Good ol’ boy gave me a tow to the next off-ramp where I got a ride to a parts store, that sold me the wrong belt and tensioner. Got it fixed the next day in the parking lot.

[@Wayne_155]

Hey Wrecker Rick & family You made the best of what could have been a bad situation. Your daughter's are adorable and you didn't get worked up about that truck. I just wanted to say Hi to y'all ☮️ from Wayne in Canada 🇨🇦

[@HighCountryRambler]

Why I do my own oil changes and minor maintenance. Only after taking my brand new Powerstroke in for it's first oil change, only to find 4 hours later a pool of oil under the truck. Grabbed the oil filter and was hanging on by it's last threads. I don't have the luxury of having new trucks delivered to me so it's doing my own maintenance for me.

[@DoubleGChargo]

Thank God you’re able to easily remedy the situation. I’ve been pricing the duallys in Vernon Oklahoma. Hope you did well in price of the new truck. Locally is about 10-20k more than Vernon. The family handled the situation well. You have a blessed family.

[@towtruckaj]

That's gonna be a hell of a story for the sales guy. "yeah dude I swear yesterday on your day off I had to go pickup a guy because he broke down on vacation pulling a gooseneck camper, He bought a new truck on the spot and had us deliver it to him just so he could keep on rolling"

[@drew8256]

Nothing like a new truck and can’t get a common part. Some people think it’s planned to make you keep buying new ones. In the old days we would cut out the bad cores and solder the ends. Would reduce cooling a bit but keeps it going.
