So what exactly happened? You got home and shut it off did it make any weird noises or some kind of burnt smells . When you try to start it what does it exactly do extra lights on or off .
I keep thinking still fuse, you check them all?

It works pretty well IF the pump motor has flat spots on the armature brushes. Which happens.... But apparently FlounderStalker doesn't like my idea because he wont reply to me:crazy: Guess he thinks I'm pulling this theory out of my ass?

Would it make any difference if I told you I'm ASE master certified, Chrysler 5 star gold certified, GM Master certified, Graduated with a degree in Science and Automotive Technology, certified in areas for both Ford and Toyota, and even certified to repair laminated glass (windshields)???

Private A - the gas tanks in a big plastic box - ya can't bang on it very well. And you ARE CRAZY!!

Ironman - backed out of the garage and i realized that my utility trailer parked in the driveway behind me and in my way. Stopped and shut the motor off and got out of the truck to push the trailer out of the way. Then i realized it was 95 degrees outside, so i reached in the truck and turned the key to restart the motor to get the AC running while i was moving my trailer. The motor had been off for about 5 seconds. I turned the key, the motor cranked, but never started. Didn't even spit and sputter.

UPDATE: Roadside Assistance worked easy. The truck is sitting in the dealer's secured yard waiting for opening time in the morning. Damn.....she looks good even sitting on the back of a tow truck!!!
