Re: Truck stalled, won't start. Fuel & spark. Can it be ignition?

I just checked, and I can hear a slight "whine" noise and a click when I turn the key. The only other noise I hear is a spurting noise from the battery.

Re: Truck stalled, won't start. Fuel & spark. Can it be ignition?

Re: Gas spits out upon filling-gas smell afterwards

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone. So, my question is...Is this something that I have to fix immediately, or can it wait? I'm fixing to drive this truck from TN to AZ. Is it going to affect...

Re: Gas spits out upon filling-gas smell afterwards

Gas spits out upon filling-gas smell afterwards

Lately, whenever I put gas in my truck, I have to hold the gas nozzle at a strange angle and pump gas very slowly or the pump handle shuts off and a little gas spits back out. Then, after I fill up...

Re: Broken ignition after attempted truck theft-how to secure?

That's a great idea. The locks on those windows are kind of skimpy, really.

Re: Broken ignition after attempted truck theft-how to secure?

Broken ignition after attempted truck theft-how to secure?

Someone broke into my truck by forcing the back sliding window open and busted my ignition so that the truck starts without a key. Of course, I can't get it in to be fixed until next week. Does...
