Truck "repaired" and full of hope, we pressed on at 4:30 am Tuesday morning hoping to catch up with the herd...
Unfortunately the truck was not repaired properly the first time and we are back in Oaxaca, holding out at the Fiesta Inn with a room 40ft from the pool.
The truck is at the mercy of the Ford dealer.
Life sure can be "Ford Tough."
Our plans to rejoin the group tonight and be able to run the last two legs of the race have changed. We have now found that the trucks turbo has been leaking oil and not providing enough oil pressure to let the computer run the diesel injection system. This last chain of events has us back in Oaxaca and wondering when and if we will ever get to leave this town.
The most unfortunate thing is that our little car is sitting in the trailer race ready and we are here with a strong case of cabin fever.
Many have asked are we done with the race. As our good friend Bluto says in Animal House... (click on the title to this post if the link does not appear on your screen)
This drive is far from over and we hope to have good news for you all tomorrow...

Hi Guys,
You are amazing! Thank you for keeping the postings alive.
Your perseverance and focus is an inspiration to us all.
It is interesting to now see where you are in Mexico and what the terrain is like in that part of Mexico… Since you have a little time on your hands ; what is the weather like there. ( We wonder here in the North East because there was snow in the Catskills down to NJ last night. )
Hope that the truck gets fixed soon and you are on the road again.
We appreciate what your friends have done in taking a video. Thank you everyone in Mexico.
SORRY YOU HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS BUT HAVE EXPERIENCED THEM ALSO. DID GREATLY ENJOY YOUR VERBAGE OF YOUR EXPERIENCE.
