Last night it did it and I pulled off and before it cranked back up it produced one hell of a backfire lol. It was bout 12am and Im in the country so no noise. Shoulda heard the echoes. Woulda thought somebody was shootin a 30.06 or somethin.

All other ignition stuff is brand new and the module is the only thing that hasnt been replaced. Ill get one tomorrow at work and slap er on there

Didnt fix it. It died again this mornin. A few times....... Bought a new toggle/ignition switch and so far so good. I re did all the wires pertaining to the ignition/starting/charging and instead of tape I used heat shrink on the connections. I feel better atleast. The truck did catch on fire for almost a minute and got the battery hotter than piss today but other than almost burnin down the garage and my truck it went well lol. Guess Ill start takin the #1 rule in mechanics now serious. DISCONNECT BATTERY BEFORE WORKIN! hahahahahaha
