Check your grounds.  What kind and how old is your alternator?  Is it common during all the issues?

I was just wondering if your issues could be caused by some sort electrical surge.  The electronic components are sensitive.  For example, the voltage regulator in your 3G could have a questionable component that results in an intermittent spike.  Another thing to verify would be to see if any sort of electrical RF signal could be causing a surge.  Of course, I don't know but I remember reading that issues can be caused by having a noisy wire routed beside a sensitive wire.  If all of this is in the left field, feel free to ignore.  But sometimes the intermittent failures have unexpected causes.

Probably no Mini-Bashes for me until spring, regardless. 

Have you had a chance to pull codes from ECM Bullet?

I realize sitting on highway with your co-pilot is not an ideal place to do that.

Intermittent electrical problems are the most troublesome to locate.  If it “just cuts out”, then works again w/o doing anything, I’d suspect a bad connection.  I know this doesn’t help much, but check any connectors for a poor contact within the connector.  Maybe put a dab of “DeoxIt” on each contact.  Bad contacts don't always look bad. 
Good luck.

BB, I am 2 miles from Fountain Valley. If there is a next time, call me. I have two empty bedrooms, a well equipped garage, and access to two shops. Glad you made it home safely.

Why would you mention his first name since yours is Sally?

Mike:  I just found your post of 10-24...been doing a bunch of other stuff.  I really want to thank you for the offer.  As it worked out I managed to drag the exhaust on a high crown driveway while turning around after we got off of the freeway.  That seems to have pushed the headpipe into the shift linkage.  That and the fact that my co-pilot was not happy with the prospect of nursing it home helped me make the decision to trailer it.  More $$ but less hassle.  Ended up taking it to friends in Hemet and forgetting about the Fountain Valley visit.  Then loaded it onto the Uhaul for the trip to Colorado.  Thanks again for the offer,  amazing group we have here as I'm sure you discovered in your first Bash trip...hope we see you again next year.

John:  Right you are, John, about being able to deal with it.  I can and would have tried to nurse it home but...my girl would have been very nervous all the way, and it likely would have quit a time or two more...not worth it. 
You need to get to a Bash too, John.  Hook up with Dan next time he's heading south, or Alan over in Kansas.  My issues not withstanding, driving across the country in these thinks is an absolute blast.  Hope to meet you someday....soon!  Who knows how much more cruising time I have.  LOL
