on Saturday night i was on my way from AZ to Florida and i stopped for gas and my truck wouldnt start back up. in the morning i got a tow from the hotel to an Advance Auto parts because i thought i was having issues with the solenoid. i bought a new one but when the truck came off the truck i tried to crank it to show the driver what it was doing, and it started up, but it didnt sound pretty. somewhere between electric shocking and grinding. i made it to florida but i have not had A/C, Heating, Power Windows, 4x4, or a radio since the issue on Saturday night. I just replaced the solenoid but nothing has changed. The WEIRD PART is that my windows, wiper, and radio all work when i turn the key back to ACC. i did some searching and it seems my GEM may need replacing but im not sure. wanted some additional opinions on the issue. What should i do to get my truck back!? thanks for the help guys!
