engine dying update

a few weeks ago my engine was dying randomly and then would start right back up, it did this 4 times over 2 days and then never did it again

well the other day i bumped the little black box that changes the numbers on the dp tuner and the truck died, so i started fiddling wih it and there is some kind of short in the wire and the truck will die

just want to put this out there in case someone else is having problems

He didn't even have to press 1 for English. Notice how she didn't even ask how old the unit was or if it was still in warranty? All she cared about was making sure if there was a problem with her unit it got figured out.

We're lucky to have sponsors like this. Too bad more companies don't have this kind of attitude.

Thanks Diane.
