We had a good view of Crowley lake from here:
You can see the grade we were pulling when it happened:
The road wasn't too bad yet, so it was a good thing the Hummer broke down at this point and not later:
We babied it back down the hill and back to town. Once I took it out of low range, the problem disappeared. Everything was good enough to get us home.
I have been bickering with the dealer to get the problem fixed. They had my truck for two days and were "unable to reproduce the problem". Well, I was able to reproduce it, and eventually took the service manager and lead mechanic out for a test drive. I was barely out the shop when the infamous pop happened, causing both the manager and mechanic to jump. Mission successful. I am bringing it back in Monday.
At least I had my truck to use to empty out my storage unit. Ellen and I decided to move our storage into one of the bedrooms to save some money, so I rented a trailer and hitched it to the Hummer. Luckily, the truck held together.
Oh man, sorry about your "baby."
