Transmission part number

[Gardner Yeaw]

I have arranged to have Good Sam contact a tow service (on their
dime) to take it to Nicholas-Wymoning Truck in Luzerne PA. on
Wednesday. Nicholas-Wyoming Truck is certified by Allison on the
MT600 series, knows it is an air suspension bus, knows what to do and
is happy to do the work.

I spoke with the service manager at Stadium and he said they don't
have the right equipment to handle it. We agreed that it would
create a dangerous situation for his crew and the job was better
handled by someone with experience on these vehicles. Nice guy, I
just wish they had said that sooner.

So with luck and money I will have my baby back home in it's nest
soon.

I will be going out there tomorrow to oversee the towing and grind
out the fine details with Nicholas-Wyoming.

Thanks to all for taking the time to respond to my plight. I needed
it to maintain my sanity. I now have a much better background to deal
with the new place and know more of what I need to know discuss the
job before they start working on it.
