    Truck has NO POWER, can't spin wheels in wet grass...

    Back in the day when gassers had mechanical fuel pumps they would sometimes loose a diaphram and pump gas into the crankcase.Not to often but it did happen.I never had one of our fuel pumps out but could this same problem happen?

    Truck stalled/quit running

    check the #22 maxi fuse under the hood.If it is burnt you have to unplug the fuel heater then replace the fuse.It's a 30 amp. You can unplug the fuel heater from inside or the outside of the fuel bowl.

    My turn I guess

    Mine started going bad at 133k so I put on the spare on.Its easier to change at home than on the roadside.The truck would shut off at 60 mph for a split second.That happened 4 times in three weeks.I finaly got the hint.
