Ouch. That really sucks. I'm really sorry about that. It is unfortunate these trucks being so new and the diesel variants even fewer, which after reading a handful of posts, seems that most auto-parts stores don't carry parts to fix the trucks, and even GM dealers don't either
I imagine I would have been in a similar state as you after traveling that far and then being treated like that.
I can't say I've heard of the fan clutch going out on many trucks though, that's a new one to me. How many miles do you have on your truck currently? And have you towed a lot with it already? I guess if it was hot out and towing the camper up some good sized hills/ mountains, it was probably working that pretty hard. Being a new truck, it should not have failed like that. But I guess that is the thing with getting a pretty new vehicle (new in the models life I mean, only 2 years of production on the diesel powered machines), that they put in parts and don't exactly know if those are really good parts or not. It's no fun being a test dummy. I took the chance though and I haven't had any bad luck thus far, praise be to the Lord. But time will tell.
Again, I'm really sorry for your unfortunate trip and how you were treated.
