    So you want someone to drive to the mountains, remote area, for someone who joined today, to install it for free and/or get kidnapped at the same time?

    I'll pass.

    To be fair, your post isn't exactly a normal first post for a first timer looking to introduce themselves. You are asking for someone to drive up into the mountains where no Uber will go and repair your vehicle on site. And no one here knows you. I can appreciate your situation, but maybe start in the SAIP threads with an introduction to your problem and get some tips or advice on the repair. Essentially what your doing is a want to buy post for someone's services. Need 50 posts on the forum to engage in BST (buy, sell, trade). There are resources for what your asking for outside of this forum for enthusiasts, like Angie's list etc. to find a mobile mechanic. Good luck with your truck.

    Welcome - don't take the comments to harshly - folks here tend to be "straight shooters" but there is a ton of good folks here that can offer suggestions and help for the DIY'er.
    Hope someone comes along to help you out.

    changed title from "need help"...that's reserved for people stranded on the road.

    glad you got your issue resolved @Donnajo
