truth is, you never know, at 80K miles plus, but it doesn't hurt to have a spare, if it fails on the road, in the middle of nowhere, it would be a major bummer, that said, i've never traveled with a spare until recently, and never had a problem. my two di failures were blocks from my house. pick up a used one that works, get a spare serp belt, bring appropriate wrenches/sockets... you could go crazy and bring a spare saab, just in case...
or borrow a spare di on your way out and return it on your way back...
i'm sure you're passing someone, what's your route?
have fun and safe trip
