you got problems with pressing the brake and the truck just dies out??? :whhooo:

if your pressing the brake and your truck dies it probly means you have to adjust your carb and make sure your have a 1.5mm- 2mm gap in the barrel of your carb.

apply your brakes with the truck not running and the electronics on. adjust your trim on your radio until you have a 1.5mm - 2mm gapin your carb.

what glow plugs are you running?
