Default Kinda strange thing happened...whatcha think?

The curb to my driveway is not a very good transition into the street. gives a little bump, no big deal. I usually just go slow over it. This morning I was running late though, so I drove right off of it without thinking. My truck died. Just flat out died. I put it in park and she started right up again, but it was weird. That has never happened to me in any vehicle I have ever owned (Ive had plenty of vehicles that died, but not from going over a curb) I guess its not a big deal, just wondering what you guys think happened. The only thing I have done lately is install my cutout and wire it straight to the battery, but that was like 2 weeks ago. Whatcha think?

Do it again, see if it happens again

Maybe just a cold sluggish engine, and/or tranny

Hahaha....Lets hope not.

And Fishin, I did do it again a couple times just to see if it would do it again and, of course, it didnt.
No problem, I guess its not a big deal. Will probly never happen again, but it sure had me stumped.

Hit this bump doing 40 mph was wondering wtf and trying too steer w/out pwr omg I'm gonna dye!! Then realized my knee hit the key in the dash and shut the f543ker off! Turned the key and kept on rolling. Had a good lol that day.
