Yep the old girl died on me about a week and a half ago. The wiring harness caught fire after work one night and she even got me home, me not noticing the smell of burning wires, before she died. I got home, shut her off and noticed smoke rolling out from under the hood. Luckily the fire had blown out on the drive but the damage had been done, there's melted wires throughout the wiring harness. I have to count my blessings, atleast I still have a truck to work on, considering what happened I could have been visiting the old girl in a salvage yard in the form of a crispy heap. Right now I'm not really sure what my plans are for her but I have to admit, the haul home of 200 miles with a cummins powered 3500 Dodge. I had bad thoughts on that trip home. I was impressed at how easily that engine pulled what was atleast a 9000lb load. The trailer in the picture is made of I beams and solid steel sheets and weighed nearly 3000lbs in itself. I thought "man I'm already replacing the wiring harness anyway, why not just wire in an ECU and put a 12 valve in there while I'm at it!" lol
I doubt funds will permit such ideas but I'm back to work on the brown truck again. She will ride again some day, hopefully sooner rather than later, I already miss her.
