I was cruising down the road after dinner and the engine just died ( No warning lights). I managed to coast till it was safe to park.Every attempt to restart the engine failed. I sat in the truck for a minute to recollect my thoughts and then called my son.
On the first attempt after hooking up the jumper cable it turned a little and on the second attempt it roared back to life.
I suspect alternator failure because of the awful smell coming from under the hood, but it could be the battery. I will leave that decision to the service folks in the morning.
