    Time for me to call out for help. Everyone who can offer help or assistance. My brother, who lives in the north Atlanta area is having major vehicle issues. Yes, it is a Frontier, and I know we don't like them, but this is family! It appears he has a blown head gasket. I want to be able to tow it down here to my shop if possible, or if a fellow Tacomaworld member is a good mechanic or is family or friends of one, I could sure use the help! And my brother would be very appreciative! Post, pm, or text me. 334-247-5430.

    I know we are not supposed to bump often, but could use some help on this if at all possible.

    Your only 4 hours from Atlanta :D . Can you find a way to tow it over to Marion? Might be cheaper in the long run, than having a local mechanic take advantage of him. Can you do a HG on a Frontier?

    Thanks everyone, and have replied to your text. We are looking at as many options as possible so that we can get this thing fixed for him. we thought the leaking water pump was the only problem, so when I went up last week to replace it, we thought all was good, but it got hot today, and they noticed a problem with cranking it over. Once it started it was running fine they said. Loss of coolant is for sure, and none going into the oil.

    Brad, I will let you know as soon as possible if we are going to do this option. Thanks.

    Just an update, he is still looking at what options are available. Thanks again to everyone who has responded. He has to coordinate the truck issue with his job that is 2 hours away, and 12-14 hour shifts, as well as trying to get the house ready to sell. Anyone looking to buy a 2 story house in Roswell, just north of Atlanta? Hahaha.
