We saw something incredible happen in the way folks
 from this list come to our aid. We would like to thank
everyone from this list who had a hand in helping us
out. We contacted Utah Imports first thing this
morning. Not only were they expecting us, they were
prepared to install the new starter once we arrived .
They got us
back on the road quickly.
Unfortunately we got down the road and the problem
returned. We can't get it to crank the starter, hot or
cold (only push starting )  We hate to impose on the
already fantastic generosity, but we will  be in the
Denver area in Friday morning.  If anyone can help
with a shop to help resolve, we would surely welcome
the help.

Thank you all again for your kindness. We have
limited Internet access,
Mostly email
