Ahhh, a gentleman of few words.

Check Engine Light?

How long does it run before it dies?

What engine do you have?

When was the Throttle Body last cleaned?

Automatic or manual transmission?

If there was a Check Engine Light, post the code.

If it starts up and then dies fairly quickly, that's probably a bad fuel pump or clogged filter.

None. Bone Stock. EXCEPT: Brushguard, tow hitch, both welded to the frame. It's good to have friends and a fully equipped garage!

Could also be the COR...
