Manual transmission: Clutch Automatic transmission: possibly low Transmission Fluid
I don't know what your specific problem is, but there is no distributor cap.
Could be a problem with a pulley bearing.
The truck is heavier
they barely averted the truck which was on their side of the highway!
Could be a problem with the thermostat housing or it's gasket, could be a problem with intake manifold gaskets, could be a problem with heater hoses or the fittings that screw into the manifold.
I'm not sure what a semi-trailer is, but I would imagine a tow truck could help with your problem.
truck moves fast
Bad compressor? Air leak in system? Excessive vehicle weight?
Maximum Destruction is the best but barely wins against Grave Digger
Since your truck is new, there should not be a problem. Where a problem could happen is if the engine was running poorly on the opposite bank the computer could not make corrections. I assume you are out of warranty also.
The battery in the vehicle you are jumping has to have some life to it and capable of taking a charge. If it is stone dead and not capable of taking a charge it won't take a jump.
The starter or battery could be weak. The weakness will cause the starter to turn too slowly to start the truck.
