Hey guys. I have a 1997 Chevy 1500 with the 5.0 V8, 133,000 miles. My wife usually drives it, and this morning it wouldn't start.
Backstory, yesterday she called in the morning that it was "lurching" in gear as she went to work tomorrow, and then it was fine in the evening. This morning, I went out to try and start it. It cranked a few times, then there was a small muffled pop. It almost tried to start, but I stopped after that figuring maybe the starter had gone. I have my UltraGauge plugged in, and it isn't throwing any codes. I have some help coming on Saturday to try and fix it, but I would appreciate any input from you guys to figure this out.
(As a side note, this truck has been in my family since new, my Grandpa bought it in 1997.)
