    Nothing is truly EMP proof. A reckoning is coming and it's going to be biblical.

    No way to say this without sounding like a whack job, but I have shit put away, stored correctly just for such an instance.

    The thing that Mully said about the starter being fried, that was the entire reason why you said that the old mechanical injection diesels would have to be bump started after an EMP attack, right? I was just clarifying

    Me too, a years supply, ammo ,guns, food and water, and a few dogs. You can eat them if you have too. When this and if it ever happens we are in for more problems than your truck doesn't start. There will be those that want what you have. You need to be able to protect your loved ones.

    If I remember correctly from that one movie with Tom Cruise in it, all you need is a new solenoid.

    Just ignore the fact that the solenoid was on a shelf 10 feet away from the car when the emp went off and you'll be fine.
