Well, damn.
Looks like the Ty has already lost it's first part
So today I was driving along in the rain, and the truck started to develop a miss. Sounded like it was running on
5 cylinders. So, being 40 miles from home and my destination, I continued to drive to my friend's place. It was
dark out and her underground parking has horrible lighting, so I left to pick up my girlfriend.
On the way there, my headlights died. After my headlights died, the check engine light came on and the voltage shot
up to 18, deep in the red
Taking my foot off the gas and letting the truck idle, and the voltage dropped down back to about 11, so it was
draining. Between stoplights, the light indicating that the torque converter was locked up was flashing on and off every few seconds even with my foot and the speed ( 50 mph ) not changing at all.
The truck sounds fine when you're not on the gas, it seems to run on all 6. When you give it anything more than
1/10th throttle it sounds terrible! The highbeams worked to drive on for about 10 minutes, then they went out!
What the!
So here it is, I am at my girlfriend's place, no highbeams, no headlights, check engine light, 4 out of 6 cylinders
and worst of all,(I didn't drink until I got here) almost out of alcohol so I can only have half a beer before I drag myself to bed. Tomorrow I
guess the first thing I will check is the alternator and the fuses. The truck ran great before it rained, after it
got a little wet, it ran a little rough, once it got really wet, it ran like ass!
Anyone ever heard of something like this?
Any other suggestions?
