Consumer Description

MY TRUCK HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEAR THAT SAID "FUEL INJECTION LOWER THAN EXPECTED. WHEN I WOULD CRANK IT UP, YOU COULD HEAR THE ENGINE RUNNING HARDER THAN IT SHOULD WITH AN AUDIBLE CONSTANT KNOCK. I MADE A COUPLE STOPS AND IT SHUT OFF ON ME JUST BEFORE THE SECOND STOP. I TRIED CRANKING IT UP AGAIN, AND IT STARTED, BUT TOOK AWHILE TO START. AFTER THAT, I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD "BOOM" FROM UNDER THE HOOD. MY TRUCK SHUT DOWN ON ME IN TRAFFIC. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT HIT BY ANY OTHER MOTORISTS AND MADE IT TO AN ADJACENT PARKING LOT. THEN AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START IT AGAIN, I FINALLY HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK BECAUSE MY TRUCK WAS INOPERABLE. *TR
