My carburetor decided to give up on me one night.

I'd just got off the highway and was within about 2 miles from being home, and lost power. Dad got a tow strap, we hooked it up and pulled it home.
While I was waiting, two guys in a tow truck stopped, I told them what was going on and they said they liked the truck and that it looked good.


I had another incident, before the one mentioned above...

I was driving home and noticed that my dash lights were kind of dim; didn't think much about it. Then I got on a stretch of road with very little light and noticed that my headlights were going dim as well. I pulled over, turned it off (that was my mistake), checked to make sure everything was ok, got back in, and..... nothing. Long story short, we got it to a gas station, but didn't want to leave it there. We had some friends that were kind enough to let us park it there. After pulling and testing the alternator and the battery it just fixed itself.

my just broke down tonight i pulled out and spun a little bit, i had dropped it down in 1st and forgot and it went over 6k hit the revlimiter ( i have superchips) and something popped (serp. belt) i drove about 1/4mile and it said check coolant level , currently my gauges are erratic at times and inaccurate, so i stopped and turned it off and my clutch fan had shot off into my radiator and punched a hole in it and ripped my belt to pieces and i think it fried my water pump too its the only thing i got to drive so ill be fixing it pretty quick
