Let the shop yank the motor for diagnosis and tow a reduced-weight Freedom. Busfest and the Texas Classic are both an easy hop for y'all so the tow should be an easy one. It will add distance but map a route that keeps you off of 35. I'll probably be towing again. Will post more info tomorrow after I try to get it started again.
