I was driving down the the highway, and my truck began to slow down. If I pressed the gas, it just whined but didn't speed up. Then something popped, the truck died, and the coolant began boiling over. I pulled over and popped the hood, and the boiling coolant was the only thing I saw. Now, the truck will crank but won't turn over. It is a propane powered truck, so I don't know what effect that would have.

Thanks!

Before I begin, I have to tell you I'm not an expert on Propane. However, that doesn't seem like the issue.

I need to know if you are getting spark to the plugs. Check that first and let me know.
