Was driving home from work and just died at a red light. Cranked it back up and it was ok until 2 red lights later and it died again. This time it would crank and start for a split second and then die. Tried quite a few times with the same pattern/result. Seems to be getting fuel, so I'm not sure at this point until I get some time to troubleshoot. Could be the gross GM/HEI distributor I have. Maybe the coil pack on it went out.
I've been towed a million times, but this is the first time for Sgt. Green getting hoisted. [Depressed]

That sucks. Hope you can get a diagnosis and get back on the road soon!

Well, what are the odds of this. After fixing the wire and driving to work, it wouldn't crank when I came out to go home. All I got was a click. Ended up being a bad starter solenoid. That solenoid has been fine for the past year and then all of a sudden it dies literally one crank after the other problem is fixed. Truck karma is weird sometimes.
