what a night!

so after months of working on my bros lifted k10 short fleet, we got it inspected and insured finally, so we start driving to go pick his girl up, were heading down this one road comin up on a stop sign, the headlights start flickerin truck shuts off, its stops, in the middle of the street, the cab starts smokin up, smoke is pouring out of the hood, my bro jumps out pops the hood i was still in the cab, flames just start pouring out of the engine compartment, i quick jump out, rip my sweat shirt off start blowing on in, we had nothing else to use, finally it went out. now were stuck out on a road, in the pitch black we cant see the damage, but we can sure smell it. since were in the middle over the road, he sed to push it back and cut the wheel to the right, to get it on the margin. i start pushing the front bumper, and trust me, me being 17 @ 140lbs trying to push a lifted all steel body truck with lockers front and rear on 35s isnt fun or easy. after getting off to the side of the road, he got a hold of one of his buddies, by this time its 130am his buddy comes flying over. of course were facing the opposite way we have to go to get back to our garage. so us 3 slowly push the truck forward and back, cutting the wheel left and right, we get it aimed the other way. fortunalty his friend had a tow strap, so we flat towed it 10 minutes back to the garage. turns out a leaky dipstick spraying oil everywhere with the positive battery cable 2 inches away from the one headers isnt a good thing. damage isnt to bad, but it sucks wen you got work the next morning at 6.
