ok so yeah im 20 years old with a 94 f150 300 shortbed reg cab

on occasion i screw around and slide the back end around in the wet weather we have been having lately

if i slide sideways and dont feel confident about it or almost lose it i tap the brakes


this immediately shuts the entire truck down

any thoughts?

is it just flooding it or is there some type of sensor or anything?

 

not sure why but i would advise you to stop doing that if you want to keep that truck and live to 30.

 

Sounds like your truck is getting scared and fainting.

But seriously make sure your battery is tight, it could be bouncing around and shorting out.

Beond that it's a guessing game and a good hunt good luck.

 

im just going to go with the conclusion i frightened my truck and try not to do that anymore haha

 

Well to rule out it only happening when fish tailing. Go for spin (NOT BRODY'S) and give it some then brake like your woul dfishtailing and see if it happens again. But I agree it is probably your battery bouncing.

 

yea low and behold my battery mount is screwed up from the amazing people at advance auto parts, i should have done it myself

would that hurt the battery if it did it like 2 times?

 

If it's working now then you lucked out it's probably OK. May I suggest investing in an Optima battery though if ypur gonna chalange it, you can shoot those things and they still work.

 

i got the more expensive batttery from advance auto parts because my old one was only puttin out 8 volts

im going to look into getting a new battery tie down or whatever, mainly because my dad broke the original batery hold down thingy

we rigged it up and im guessing its that
