Again, the tow truck operator called the shop to be sure they'd work on my radiator before he left me there. They looked at it and said it was too difficult. I definitely wasn't foul mouthed and I had money to pay for the repair. I was very polite. They told me to get it towed hundreds of miles to the next big city at my own expense. I didn't have the money for both the long range towing and the repair. It cost a couple thousand dollars to recore a radiator that large and it had to be sent back to Detroit for some reason. They called every other diesel mechanic in town and none of them would work on it, even after looking at it. I did the job myself and it really wasn't as difficult as they all thought it would be. I called Foretravel and they told me exactly what to do, and it worked out exactly like they said it would. I have no idea if this was a "normal" case but for me this one repair was exactly 100% of my experience with getting towed to a diesel shop. Please be absolutely sure the shop will repair your rig before the tow truck operator disconnects. You'll be stranded wherever he leaves you unless you're willing and able to pay for long distance towing to another repair shop. This is from personal experience unfortunately.
