Re: stopped running

as for the truck, did it just shut off, and then you could restart it?? or did it shut off, and now you cant start it at all????/

as far as the gasket issue, a leaking valve cover gasket will spill oil all over your manifolds, making a big cloud of white smoke. a leaking head gasket will loose compression, or blow out into your cooling system. mixing coolant and oil.

What kind of truck? I know your in the chevrolet forums but then again your asking a truck question in the camaro forums. So if its a Ford you might of tripped the fuel shut off cause I know it don't take alot of vibration to shut it off and in that case you will have a reset button somewhere. Now if it's a Chevy then you might have a short somewhere. Not that chevys have a problem with shorts but anythings possible.
