Engine Cut Off While Driving
I picked the truck up late yesterday (20 min before they closed) and started to head home got about 12 miles down the road when I decided to put the passenger side window down hit the switch for it and it started going down then stopped at the same time the instrument panel went dead along with the radio the only lights illuminated where the Air Bag and ABS light, the truck was still running smooth I tried pulling off the road about that time all the instrument gauges pegged then went to center position and all the indicator lights came on then the truck bucked hard and died. Once I was off the road I put the key in the run position and it acted like the batteries where dead (I just put two new batteries in a week ago), I put the emergency flashers on but they only lasted about 10 minutes before they went out. <O

I called the dealer first thing this morning and told him what had happened, first thing he said was that VARMITS can get up in there and chew the wires up or maybe I had a bad alternator.<O

Does anybody have an idea what kind of VARMIT could have caused this?
