    engine quit

    Crawled under tank with with a length of hose. Could not hear anything going on in tank listening thru hose with key on. No ticking. Should I test for spark before dropping fuel tank? Fuel module has never been replaced in this truck in 27 years. Thanks for help. Hope to get more. Jim

    Nut on fan/water pump shaft stuck
