Are we to assume that they put something back together wrong. I was
under the impression that run aways were something you might see the
first time you crank a truck from DRMO, but was otherwise quite rare.
Sort of the everyone knows someone who knows someone that has seen one
is his life time. Don't get me wrong, it is good we know what to do if
it does happen to us, but I don't think we all need to mount a clip
board on spring clips under the hood of every truck we own do we?
I guess the real question I am posing is how likely is this to happen
to a daily driver that hasn't been worked on? Is it more or less
likely than the starter relay sticking closed?
