Holy shit, I've never had that happen before.
So I go out to start the truck and fires right up, but there is this awful nasty noise coming from the, transmission? Damnit, my new throw out bearing exploded! Press the clutch pedal, feels normal, shift gears with the clutch in, feels good... What the.... Turn the key off.... And the starter was still engaged cranking the engine. Put it in second, and dumped the clutch to kill it, right? You would too. The starter over powered the the (rather worn out) e-brake, and my foot on the brake and lurched me forward 'til I burried my foot and killed it.
Holy hell what just happened...
I now smell smoke. Shit.scramble to pop the hood, reach for the battery cable... Which was hot as hell, wires are smoking, jimmied it free and it stopped.
Fired it up, on and off half a dozen times and everything still works so far.
Wow.
