The Teccas Homeward Bound Truck Repair

Donation protected
Update 6/20 - We are still without our truck, but we are home in Montana. Repair is almost done but we are still short 13k to finish the repair. We are at a crossroads with what to do. Music is our life, yet this catastrophic event of losing our engine at a cost of 30k has crippled our touring and caused us to cancel shows, reschedule the ones we can in hopes of raising the money to finish the repair and get back on the road. Keep praying for a miracle, but then Scott lost his voice of Father's Day and we have been forced to cancel several more shows this week. We had to cancel our Oregon Summer Tour and 11 shows, however, Montana venues stepped up and filed 8 of those spots. Next weekend, we are to start our Independence Tour in NW Montana, North Idaho, and NE Washington. All reservations are made for the fifth wheel, however, we may not have the truck paid for and back and are faced with how to pull off this tour and the 9 shows in 12 days. Very overwhelmed right now. We are in need of help!!! Check out our page for other ways to help.

Update 5/11 - We are still stuck in Colorado. Estimates for the truck engine at in and we are looking at 23k for the repair, regardless of where we take it. Our biggest hurdle right now is getting our fifth wheel home to Montana. We have 2 estimates from drivers for 2k and 2400 to pull it to Helena. We still have to get the truck from Moab to the repair shop, roughly another 1k. Then there's the first repair bill of 3800.00 for the turbo. So all in all we are looking at around 30k by the time this is said and done for the repairs and getting us home. 

Update 5/8 - Well, the news on the truck is not good. Looks like we need a new motor. That's a 20k repair. Our main need right now is to find someone to pull our fifth wheel home to Helena, Montana from Egnar, CO. It's our house. The truck is going to be down for awhile until we can get the 20k needed for a new engine, figure out if we need to get it home to Montana for repair or let Garrett's Diesel Performance in Moab, UT keep it and do the job here. 

Update 5/5 - Made it 208 miles with the new turbo and truck running awesome. Then, in a cloud of black smoke, turned to grey, and shut it down. Appears to be a head gasket. Truck is on the tow truck and will be taken to Moab on Monday. Our friend Walter came with his neighbor Mark with Mark's truck and pulled our fifth wheel to Walter's in Egnar, CO. Still 15 hours from home and broke down again for ??? Long. We have shows Wednesday through Friday in NW Montana and Saturday in Helena area. Any help is GREATLT appreciated. We were in no way prepared for this one either. A huge Thank you to those who have helped so far!! 

The Teccas are in route to Montana and broke down in Holbrook, AZ while their truck is in the shop for a new turbo. It's a 16 hour repair minimum and half done. Hoping to be back in the road by Wednesday May 3rd to ensure they can get home in time for shows May 5th, 6th and 7th. Many have reached out and they have raised around 1000.00 of the 4000.00 needed for the repair. But they still need assistance raising the remainder of the funds needed to pay for the repair. Any amount helps to get them back on the road. A friend in Colorado came and picked up their sound system and gear and got them to their shows this past weekend in Durango, Cortez and Moab, and they are now back in Arizona waiting for the shop to finish up. If you'd like to help, they sure could use a hand!
