engine dies
I HAVE THE TRUCK ABOUT A MONTH. ON MY WAY HOME DRIVING ABOUT 30 MINUTES THE ENGINE DIES! IT STARTS THEN DRIVE A COUPLE OF MINUTES THEN DIES 3 MORE TIMES. WHEN IS STARTED THE 4TH TIME IT STAYED RUNNING BUT NOW I GET SOME KLANK OR STRONG PUFF FROM THE FRONT LEFT ONLY WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL AND NOT EVERYTIME. I WAS GOING TO LEAVE FOR TAHOE TONIGHT BUT NOT SURE IF THIS IS A PROBLEM OR IF IT HAS PASSED?
PLEASE HELP

If you look at the harmonic balancer on the front of the motor its located at about a 10:00(or upper left). I have never changed mine yet but from what i've read there pretty easy. A 10mm bolt holds it in. Once removed it should just pull out. You may have to wiggle it a bit. They say there sometimes tight to get out. Let us know how you make out! P.S You'll have to unplug it first.
