Perfect timing.... not
Truck is dead in the driveway. It wouldn't start this morning. 
And of all days, we have a big winter storm going on right now, with heavy wet snow/rain mix. I'm not motivated in the least to diagnose the problem yet. I'll wait for better weather this weekend.
All I know is the batteries are good, I have fuel and oil pressure, but it won't start. No CEL.
Ugggg, just had to rant is all. Once this storm blows over I'll fix it this weekend. Probably a dead GPR, it's been giving me a few fits lately. If so, I'm throwing the AIH relay on it temporarily and ordering a Stancor. Tired of cheap crap GPR's dying on me.
Pretty sure a few of you guys have had things go wrong at just the right time

Exactly!! Or any time in January or February when we had highs in the 60's and it felt like springtime.
Hook it, I'll pull it.

's. Snow don't tear all your property up, so I think you may be a little better off.

Besides, it gave me an excuse to drive the BMW today.
X-drive + snow = fun

Well I'm off to Colorado Springs for the rest of the night, but not in my truck. Should be a fun drive, the snow is coming down so hard we have had about 2 inches in the last 30 minutes.

Just got back home alive. I did get sideways on the road just north of Castle Rock. That was a fun few seconds of white knuckle action. Pretty sure there's a poop stain in there somewhere too.
