[QUOTE="JThompson, post: 998839, member: 16691"] No pics... A buddy and I decided to take a little drive over to the other side and up Blewett Pass toward Liberty/Table Mountain area. It was hot enough down below that a girl was putting gas in her Honda in a bikini. We got up to the spring snow-line (4500' or so) and tried to make it up the trail to a spot we like to stop and BS. We got a few miles in, about 5500' and the snow was a little much for where out rigs were at at the time. We turned around, headed down the mucho bumpy hill, and my rig started acting funny. Radio stopped playing... Smoke started coming out of my frontend. I stopped, popped the hood, saw flames, and proceeded to start shoveling snow. Thank God for snow! My battery hold-down came loose and my Optima welded itself to my hood. It burnt up my ENTIRE charging system harness, and my power steering system, and part of my brake reservior... I actually started pulling stuff out of the truck, as it wasn't going out! End the end, we found enough speaker wire in my buddies Jeep, made new grounds, charged my battery (yellow top) back up. Removed my V-belt. Made sure the brake system was functional. Strong-armed it home for 100 miles with minimal power and steering. Not that bad, really. Almost lost a good truck, though. It snowed about 2 or 3 inches on us while we fixed it. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
