Last Friday I hunted Sarasota ALL day & on the way home, 1/2 mile from my house, my '98 F150 with 138,000 miles fuel pump died out. Police were right behind me - wouldn't let my buddy pull me 1/2 mile with a tow strap. Cost me $82.50 to get towed 1/2 mile. Thank God it didn't break in the middle of my hunt.When I hunt Green Swamp this fall I will also have a spare alternator in the tool box just in case. Mud is certainly an issue to watch for, but if you have a high mileage vehicle, don't forget about fuel pumps, starters, alternators, etc.
