Broke Down in Salt lake city

OK driving on the 15 north happily at 80 mph and lost all power pulled off the road and the truck will not start. It will crank but it will not turn over my guess is at 145,000 miles i will be replacing my first VP. Does anyone no a miricale worker in Salt lake that could fix me up on memorial day weekend.
I need to be back in san diego on tuesday am and my only option is to leave my truck 700 miles from home.

Anyway you could check for codes and see if you have fuel at injectors. Fuel tank is above 1/2. Got to check the easy stuff first.

I have all the tools except the gear puller which can be rented or bought. Canceling the zoo trip today and getting a vp-44 will not be so easy. Just over an hr from SLC and can help.
