Ok, been a nightmare of epic proportions. One place with a car hauler that is open in the Western hemisphere and the girl was passed working a holiday and refused rent. Waited a few hours more , complained to uhaul, made a bogus reservation
..still fought us.....anyhow our rescue tow is on the way. Hopefully we can get it on the trailer, may have to winch it on. Yes we drove it a few blocks to the motel, with it shutting of constantly and ratling like crazy . Sounds like at least top end damage. I suggested the tensioner, but they said it looked ok. If that is the problem it should be warranty.
