I know a few of my high school friends used to say fix or repair daily, found on road dead, or forget on race day. Hope all that’s not true, I have a Super Duty I’m trying to not replace!

$16000 Canadian is a lot for a pump.

It is a cp4 system. Apparently the whole systems craps out with some bad diesel from what I can see they have a high fail rate. Apparently there is an after market system available from S&S diesel. But when you are stuck 4000 miles from home and at the Ford dealer..

EDITED

Thanks for the personal invitation Bob.
It took me a while to clear my schedule…
Reservation made by website, got a much cheaper rate than $75/day. 👍 I would NOT recommend calling their #.

Hate hearing of Rodger’s F250 woes, but I’m looking forward to seeing all y’all.

Earl, would you mind sharing the rate you got, I tried contacting them, but they now say they don’t ’recognize' my reservation number …

Dean nailed it for you Gord.

I used their actual booking site, found in the first post of this thread. They don’t seem to answer that phone #. The one time they did answer, they couldn’t access their system claiming no one could login.

Wow! Those are good rates. Last year, when I booked the place, I had to negotiate to get the NGW rate. Prices have come down since then. Hope the hotel quality hasn’t gone down. There are a lot of hotels at that I-64 exit… maybe competition drove prices down. Our free enterprise system at work!
Still convenient location, good restaurants, close to a good breakfast place that has biscuits and gravy that even Ken will like!

I’m going down on Monday to check the place out again and put together some ride routes. Only about 2 1/2 hours away for me. Looking forward to seeing you all in September!!

I got that rate using the website, but only selected leaving Thursday morning. So I tried calling the hotel again and they picked up first ring..He made a note in my file that I was staying until the 13th so all set now.
