How did your ranger try to kill you today?

Just curious to see how your ranger tried to kill you-- physically, financially, however.

Let me begin...

The truck was not on my side yesterday.
--The first thing that went wrong: two of my dash lights were flickering and it was driving me nuts. So, I went home and ripped everything apart to fix it. after reseating them I tested it and it worked fine. Tested again before putting the dash back on. After getting it out of the driveway I hit the slightest of bumps and they both went back out.
-my blower motor resistor was putting out so much heat the plastic connector melted and almost started a fire.
--Then I realized I forgot to put the two radio bezel bolts back in when I replaced my dash lights so my radio attacked me when I launched from a stop sign. pulled over and spent the next half hour rewiring my radio on the side of the road.
--Also found out my truck burns oil on the highway today when it almost ran off the dipstick.
--oh and my exhaust fell off.
So I did what any logical person would do. I went out and bought a new Thrush welded muffler and now I have duals in front of the rear tire. My girlfriend is mad at me for spending all this money on the truck but hey if she wants to have 80 pairs of shoes I can have an 80-decibel exhaust. Apples to apples. Kinda.

More likely a loose or dirty connection in the connector.

Nope, Fat Electron couldn't get through the connector.

Fat Electron Theory - Similar to an 8 lane highway going to a one lane highway and an oversized load can't make it down the one lane because its too wide. All the electrons get stuck behind fat electron and no power goes through the bad/dirty connection. It is a real thing.

Resistance to flow... makes heat... melts connectors. It's a real thing.

Now 3 of us have said the same thing in different words.

By the way. That part about the screws being left out of the radio was not attempted murder by either the truck or radio. It was attempted suicide by the guy who left the screws out.

Not PC to say Fat Electrons, Horizontally Challenged Electrons, or Big Boned Electrons

It's not a fat electron, it's just a little thick.

Extra fluffy

And you can say Spark timing is retarded, but can't say.............................

I know more than a few people walking around without a SPOUT connector, less advanced
