Unhappy Sad day...

Got in my truck this afternoon and it would crank and then shut right back down. Anyway first time I have ever had a vehicle towed. Not a clue what is wrong. It was working yesterday. I hope it is under warranty at the dealer and not a major problem. I've only got 12,000 miles on it total. Looked sad up there on the roll back.

Hey, sorry... I feel for ya man!
I have only had one vehicle towed myself. It died in the middle of busy 5 o'clock traffic. I somehow lucked out, and not too far behind me was a ramp truck. Said I was on his way, and didn't charge me a dime, and wouldn't take a dime. Got it home, got it fixed, and chalked that one up to major good luck.

Hope it all works out... without breaking you...

Thanks for all the support. Actually I think the tow truck was a dodge. Of all the trucks to see mine being pulled by. Well anyway I guess I will be haveing my tv professionally installed over christmas holidays. Oh yea and if they void my warranty. I think you will see me saleing all my mods. Nothing has been done to the motor. Just a a radio, headlights, and a bumper cover. That shouldn't have no effect on the way the truck runs. I just hope non of my friends saw it. I will never live it down.

How much gas does it have in it?

I thought I saw LGJ with a short hose, and well, he smelled a little petroleumish...

Couldn't be out of gas. I filled up Friday night and only drove it about 20 miles this weekend.

Yeah, gotta keep the LGJ on a short leash, he looks like a sneaky bugger.

This should be a warning to all of us on the importance of keeping a brown paper bag in the glove box.
You never know you could break down at the mall.

(p.s. try the bag on at home before you store it to make sure it's fits)

My truck got to the dealership about closing time. So they waited till this morning to work on it. It cranks everytime and runs??? WTF It wouldn't idle yesterday and now it decides to. Anyway they are keeping it over night to see if the problem might show up tomorrow. Anyone else had this problem or any ideas. They can't fix it unless they can see the problem.
