It usually starts small. A slightly longer crank in the morning.A warning light that flickers and disappears.A faint vibration you tell yourself you’ll check “next week.” Then one day, your truck refuses to start.

There’s nothing more stressful than losing power in the middle of I-5 traffic. Or feeling your truck repair while climbing a stretch of Highway 99.
