Thank you for the offer! Hopefully we know something by then :yup:
 
Looks like a great trip. The photos are awesome.

I hope your rig is up and running and doesn't make too much of a dent in your wallet, Pete.
 
Looks like Lake Powell..love it there. Hopefully you guys are going to be taking Utah Scenic Byway 12 through Escalante to get to Moab..great highway and amazing views along the way...
 
Well here is where I'm at...

What is known:
They have ran a few electrical tests and have determined that both cam shaft sensors (which we figured one was bad) are faulty. As well my crankshaft sensor is bad and at least one of my coils is bad too.

They had one sensor in stock but had to special order the others from Denver. They said the likelihood of them showing up early tomorrow or even at all tomorrow were slim. They said once they had all the sensors replaced and my electrical system checked out they would move to mechanical.

Unknown:
They have no clue if there is any damage in the cylinders, heads, bent rod, barrings, etc. They are extremely concerned due to the fact I've had my head gasket and heads checked prior. When it first started it sounded like a slight knock but later in the day it wasn't there (never stayed consistent with rpm).

Now:
So since they were at least a day but most likely two or three before they knew anything I chose to hop a flight and head home and wait in the comfort of my own Casa.

Thanks again to everyone who offered rides, places to stay, even vehicles to drive in Moab!!

Even though this sucks just look at the bright side...screw the bright side I want my jeep back :cheesy:

That's sucks Jason. Hope they get it all fixed for you. Hey at least you'll get to come wine tasting this weekend.
 
I'm far from being a very good mechanic, but it sounds strange that ALL of those sensors went bad at the same time... Unless an underlying electrical issue caused it? Hope they can get it sorted out soon.
