I bought the truck used and had the engine rebuilt due to low compression, oil consumption and low fuel mileage. The truck runs fine, but when it gets hot it has a tendency to stall and will not restart for quite a while. I was in omaha and stopped, the vehicle stalled and would not restart, over the radiocame a severe thunderstorm warning, with my family with me there was no place i could take them. There was hail but and luckily no hail..
