I'm driving down I-75 in Michigan, when all of a sudden the RPMs jump to 3200 and the truck shuts down. I coast it over to the side of the road and have a look. On the passenger side I noticed a small amount of smoke and a small dab of oil on the motor mount no larger than a quarter. I wait 30 minutes for the engine to cool a little bit and check the dipstick. Oil is still at a good amount. I try to start the truck and it seems locked. It won't even try to turnover. I just put this engine in with a friend. Not even 500 miles after the swap. The last time I blew it up, it would at least try to turnover....any ideas?
