I had a stall at freeway speed. Not fun. Felt lucky to have it happen on a straight stretch of I5. A stall or break down on a FS road might not be so bad if one has supplies, nice weather, winch to pull van off the road. LOL. The irony with my freeway stall was that it was likely due to an install error by me of the fuel pump relay. It developed a hair line crack in one internal part that was likely due to it being mounted without use of a proper relay block. But, I prefer to blame the stall on the other relay that had developed a cold solder joint. ;) Neil.
