I thought my troubles were behind me!

For those of you that followed my Mexican 1000 videos and story you know that the Grenadier ended up having to be towed to Mossy Ineos in San Diego from Cabo San Lucas. I finally got it back in mid May this year (long story and video below if you want to hear the whole story). My nephew and I drove it back to Chicago from San Diego and had a great time while seeing some wonderful sites. Following that trip we took it to Northern Wisconsin for some off-road time them took it to a weekend family event in Iowa. All of that being said to say we put a fair number of miles on it and tested it in different environments for about 45 days-leading to the video below.

I thought we were golden-but sadly it is not so. Yesterday I backed the Grenadier out of the garage and it stalled in the driveway. It would not restart and acted exactly like it did in Cabo so I am under the impression that the fuel pump has been disabled again for some reason. It is currentlyl on a flatbed heading to Knauz for evaluation and repair but I am really concerned that they may fix the current issue but not get to the root cause of why it has happened. I have written to INEOS to express this and encourage them to get active with Knauz to dig deep into the cause as had this happened in the woods it would have been a much more challenging event.

I will keep you informed.

Remind me what cause the original issue in Mexico?

Remind me what cause the original issue in Mexico?

Another truck backed into us which damaged the left front bumper and the TC cooler. We were able to field repair but the truck shut down at the finish line.

Another truck backed into us which damaged the left front bumper and the TC cooler. We were able to field repair but the truck shut down at the finish line.

I remember that part but didn’t think it was the TC cooler that caused the engine to not restart. I thought it was likely bad fuel. What did the deal find as the cause?
