I was getting up to speed during start of rush hour. Just like turning off the light switch. In a blink of an eye the engine stopped running and I was on coast. Left lane of the Spagetti Bowl in Vegas (I-15 and 95) had just enough momentum to make it over to the center divider. Spent 3.5 hours waiting for the tow truck. Proud to say that they sent a brand new Ford F-350 6.0 and couldn't pick up the old 99 Dodge. Got a good laugh outta that one. It was the only good part of that day.

Mine went the same way, first run on 5x5. Made it to the top of fourth, fifth was dead. Did it at at 6 at night in December. Needless to say, the sun wasn't shining, and the snow wasn't melting.

Mine went right after an Edge Comp install. I hear they can rebuild them now fer around $300. They don't go all the way into the pump, just install a new brain for the electronics.
