AFTER DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 1.5 HOURS THE ENGINE JUST DIED WITH NO WARNING LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER IN TRAFFIC. THE FIRST TIME THE ENGINE REFIRED WHILE IN GEAR BUT THE NEXT 4 TIMES I HAD TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT NO ONE HIT ME EACH TIME BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WARNING. I HAVE SINCE SPOKEN TO ANOTHER OWNER OF THE SAME VEHICLE AND HE DESCRIBED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND THE SAME PART REPLACEMENT THAT THE DEALER IS TELLING ME HAS TO BE REPLACED. THIS TRUCK HAS RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE FOR ITS AGE. THREE YEARS AGO WE ALSO EXPERIANCD A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ON 9/22/97. IS THIS A PROBLEM THAT ONLY 2 OF US HAVE HAD? LUCKILY I WASN'T TOWING MY TRAVEL TRAILER AT THE TIME.
