turn to the left and it dies???

[2ndgen]

what would cause the truck to die when turned sharply to the left???

 

[BRUTUS_T_HOG]

while in motion? probably a bad ground or battery cable connection. is the battery tied down properly?

 

[2ndgen]

yea when in motion like turning into a parking spot.
i have the batt ziptied down i havent been able to find an accual batt tie down that will work with my batt plate there is one hole at the top corner of the plate and nothing else to secure it to. usually there are two holes oppisit eachother centered on the batt plate.

there is usually a little plastic block that gets clamped down on the base of the battery with 1 long bolt. you can find one at any auto parts store for a couple bucks.

anyways. it helps to find out what you are losing when turning. fuel or spark?

any other symptoms?

ill go look for one of thoes tie downs tomorrow.

how do you tell if it is spark or fuel that it is loosing when it dies, as the truck is in motion?

the list of problems with this truck is to long to get into but the only time it dies like that is when turning left while in motion.

you mentiond something about ground wires is there a diagram that lists all the grounds so i can check them out or is that something that i would just hunt and peck em out?
