Brakes and suspension will park your truck if they go bad, most of the time they go bad to the point you can't drive it until you fix it. In other words it is not a surprise if you are even slightly paying attention, however faulty electrical issues rarely show themselves until the smoke appears.
I forgot about that. Especially the Ammeter. That's where my 65 caught fire back in 85. Good thing my grandma gave me a V8 juice drink for the trip. That's what I used to put the fire out.
