THE TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE (MICHELIN 235/80 XRV ON 22.5 INCH RIMS) WERE PROPERLY INFLATED WHEN THE INNER LEFT REAT TIRE BLEWOUT DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE SIDEWALL, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FENDER WELL COVER. NLM

A WIRE WITH A TERMINAL END NEAR THE FUEL SHUTOFF SOLENOID GROUNDED AND SHORTED OUT WHICH BLEW THE FUSE. THE SAME FUSE POWERS THE FUEL SOLENOID, THUS THE SOLENOID CLOSED, SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AT THE TIME. WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED, I BLOCKED I-75 TRAFFIC FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES UNTIL A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. ALSO, WITH NO POWER STEERING, THE VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER. ALSO, THE FUSE WHICH BLEW IS LABELED "IGNITION". A DIESEL ENGINE HAS NO IGNITION, THEREFOREI REQUIRED A TOW TRUCK AND TECHNICIANS TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, VEHICLE'S ENGINE STARTED TO MISS FIRE AND AT TIMES IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND WOULD DROP 5-10 MPH OF SPEED, DEALER FOUND THE AIR FILTER TO BE COMPLETELY SATURATED WITH WATER, THE FILTER HOUSING AND INTAKE TUBE WERE ALSO FILLED WITH LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER, THE DEALER REPLACED THE AIR FILTER. *SLC
