What owners say
Automatic transmission high temperature line connector melted, causing vehicle to lose all transmission fluid. Fluid sprayed on muffler, transmission, and all over the ground. Vehicle stalled in middle of road. May need a new transmission. *ak consumer believe this failure is exactly the same as recall #722 (97v‑084).
The injection pump failed and the vehicle started to idle wide open, consumer was unable to turn motor off with the key and had to stall the motor out. Nlm
Fuel metering failure. The engine ran away and did not stop when the key was turned off. I had to stall the engine with my brakes and had no steering because the key was off. I consider this to be a very serious incident and if my wife had been driving the truck, she would likely have wrecked it or blown up the engine!
Transmission slipped and vehicle stalled on the road. Yh
Continuous stalling while driving, smell of diesel fuel, and no start or crank over for a week.
