Here's Mine. You know, the way that this happened could of ended very badly. Luckily I don't rush myself and I usually wait till I have plenty of room before I pull out of anywhere....................Just In Case? If it did turn out bad, wonder if I could of had a Lawsuit on my hands? I would say ...probably?

You miss understand. I guess I wasn't clear how I said it. What I meant was, ending badly as in an accident. When it died on me, I was sitting at a stop sign, waiting to pull onto a two lane road, waiting for traffic to pass. I had just given it some gas to pull out into traffic. I had only traveled 5 feet when it died. The truck was heading across both lanes and barely had enough momentum to get across the road while fighting to steer it onto the shoulder. I waited for all but the last car to go by because it was still aways off. If that guy driving wasn't alert I may of been hit. I thought I had plenty of room to pull out and gain speed.... until it died......Since there was only a TSB, not a recall, and I caused the accident as a result of the truck dieing from this known problem, could there of been a recourse?

Be sure and report this to the national safety folks, I am!

Problem is that current rating does not exceed 20a fuse, but "fuse socket contacts" and connection.
New location handles current better.

Just went to the NHTSA site and filled out a compliant. If it had just happened in my driveway, probably wouldn't of taken the time to do it. But, because of how it happened to me at a highway intersection, someone else may not be as lucky as I was.
