I've got a 99 4x4 Suburban, was driving down the road the other day and had a small cloud of white smoke come out from under my hood. Was running cool and still had constant voltage. Soon after my radio shut off. As I pulled up the driveway I hit the power button n my radio and as I did so all...- RichardWaller87
