While driving on a new york interstate at approximately 60 mph in a snow storm, my truck started to miss. It then slowed down and shut off. I did not have enough time to make it to the side of the road. A truck stopped and I had him push my truck to the side of the road, causing me to have damage to my truck. Found out that the fuel pump driver module failed. It is located above the spare tire and due to a design error, water and road salt get trapped between module and mounting brace. It errodes out from the bottom side and the mounting bracket. When replaced, was informed that it is a redesigned compnent, lifting it away from mounting bracket. If I had not had enough room between me and the tractor trailer traveling behind me, or if I had another vehicle traveling next to me, it could be a total different outcome. I know for a fact, that part component is extended in states where there is a high risk of salt corrosion, and believe that a safety issue like this should be one of them. Sitting on a highway in a snow storm is always dangerous.
While traveling from nys to NJ, I noticed that it became harder to steer the truck as the trip progressed. While on 80e in NJ it became so severe that to change lanes and take an off ramp took all the strength I could muster. I knew it wasn't my power steering pump because I continued to lose range of steering motion in the steering wheel. I limped the truck to a gas station in denville NJ. Fluid level was ok, belt was good and turning properly on the ps pulley. I noticed the two universal joints on the steering shaft looked corroded so on a hunch I poured some motor oil on both u-joints. That fixed the problem and got me out of a very dangerous situation. Somebody is going to get killed because their steering is going to lock up due to those u-joints and they won't be able to steer out of a bad situation.
