Memories of my truck
I’ve had tons of interesting and stressful experiences with my truck. I first got my truck when I was 15 years old. It is a 05 Toyota tundra. The memories I’m going to write about will be the memories of my truck breaking down.

Then I waited about five minutes and tried again and it started so I called my mom and told her what had happened. After that I took my truck to my house and it cut off again in the yard. So I my mom called my mechanic to come over and check out my truck and he found that another ECM has been blown and that he told us that my sound system in my truck was dropping my voltage to low on my truck and that was what was causing my
