well see thats strange because this is the reason why I could be something with the alternator or the ground. With an efi truck you need to keep a constant charge or it wont have the power to run the fuel pump and everything needed for it to run. So what it usually will do in that case is just slowly like dim the lights and sputter a whole :pokinit: ton and start like doind the run out of gas symtoms. and then if you turn stuff of it will like regain some power and so forth. I have had 2 alternators go out on me and thats what it does and matts truck did it to cause his belt was slippin reall bad. But I haven't ever seen one just full on all of the sudden dunzo. I would say a wire touched another that it wasn't supposed to or it just got an arc or something cause that doesnt sound normal. The charge light could just be on cause its a constant problem like its just not charging enough but if that was the normal cause it wouldn't have gotten all the way home.
