We're still here in Kerrville. During the night we ran out of propane and the furnace shut off. It got down to 39 degrees overnight, but our little ceramic heater at least took the chill off.
Called the garage late yesterday afternoon and they had found the problem for the rough idling. Seems a wire for one injector had shorted out and was constantly shooting gas into one cylinder. That's the good news. The bad news is there apparently was a little damage to the rings on that cylinder from all the gas washing away the oil causing the compression on that cylinder to be low. At least they fixed the smoking problem. They will try to get the compression up this morning with some 'magic' and hopefully we'll be able to use the Tracker the rest of the trip.
We are planning on leaving here by 11:00 am and making our way to San Antonio after we fill the propane. I'll let you know what's going on as soon as we get to San Antonio.
