Well.. yesterday, I was backin up the boat in the driveway, and hit the
parkin brake, and the truck died...
unhooked the MSD, and played with a few other things, and it started again,
and found out the alt. wasnt chargin anymore... also, my noise suppressor
was smoking (wasnt using it, just hooked up) so, I get it started for about
2 mins, and it slowly died.. I was able to get the boat where I wanted it,
and then let it idle, and it sounded like I had a huge ass cam in it...
then it died, and is still dead... turns over fine, just wont fire.. I'ma
look at it today...
