SORTA EXPLAIN IN FULL, EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY TO "START".......UNTIL YOU RELEASE IT

"START" IS SOMETIMES THOUGHT OF IN 2 WAYS

1) THE "TURNING OVER" ASPECT (CRANKING)

2) THE "BUSTING OFF" AND "RUNNING" ASPECT (RUN)

SPECIFICS ABOUT YOUR TRUCK'S NOMENCLATURE AND FEATURES........AND ENGINE SIZE INFO, REALLY HELPS US INVESTIGATE YOUR SOLUTION WAITING TO HAPPEN!
