Driving on the highway to a baseball game, felt it shutter then a loud backfire. I pulled it straight over and it died as I was coming to a stop. We couldn't get it to retire, it seem as if I'm not getting spark. I'm swapping the coil in the morning. I just hope I didn't blow the head gasket or crack the head cuz it was running kinda hot

I like him! Maybe my next dog. I have a red husky and an alaskan klee kai. They dont like wheeling with me either. I get too crazy.
