So one day me and my buddy were told by his grampa to go to the store. We took his old 1984 F-150 with a 4.9 and 3 speed overdrive. On the way back, we decided to take it down a little dirt road that is good for sliding around on. The truck is a single cab short bed, so we thought it oughtta do decent around the corners. We went down it and decided to just turn around and go back down it instead of having to drive all the way back around. So my buddy spins the truck sideways in the road and pulls forward barely into the ditch to turn around. The truck stalls... Pretty normal since the clutch was going out and it didn't hold very well. Then it rolled further into the ditch. He goes to start the truck and it just makes this God awful whining/screeching noise. I new what it was, but my buddy about crapped his pants. We got out of the truck to push it and make it sit more level again so it would start. This whole time, my friend thinks that he broke something and he's gonna have to tell his grampa that he broke his truck. Once we got it back on the road, he tried starting it again and it started but died right after. He's still going insane. It finally started for good and we went straight back to his house. We never told his grampa and my friend didn't calm back down until that night.
I still think it was pretty funny. He does too now that he knows what it was. I figured some of you might get a kick out of reading about somebody that doesn't know much about mechanics freaking out over something little.
