ghost in the machine?

Hi all!
The Rangie was acting-up recently... seemed like every time I would drive up the hill by the cemetery in Ladysmith I would blow the fuel pump fuse and the truck would die. It was freaky the first time (very dark and rainy night), embarrassing the second time (pulling the boat on the trailer and blocking traffic) but by the third time it was downright spooky :shock: ... always on the hill near the cemetery... go figure.
Turns out the clip holding the wire loom in the rear had broken and the wires were laying n the tailpipe which had melted through the insulation... weird how it always seemed to "short" by the graveyard... oh well, a few minutes with some shrink tubing and tape and another Frankenlucas gremlin bites the dust (soon to be replaced by more I suppose).
Regards, Rob
