Car died while driving
Hopefully someone can help here, was driving my modified 2017 gs and engine died while driving(still had electronics on in car). Pulled off to an empty parking lot and tried starting again but starter started smoking. Had it towed to performance shop. Saw voltage was low on battery so i swapped out and started car but died shortly after. Shop replaced starter and car started but would run shortly then die and would have to wait to start up again. Thought we had tuning issues since it's a cammed car. Took it for a drive and lost power to everything. 350a fuse blown, has anyone had similar issues or can post some insight on this?

😞 sorry to hear op, take this as an opportunity to make her better! Not rushing to judgment but how long have you driven it since the mods? Might be a case of poor tuning/mechanical issue on the shop. Hopefully that is not the case but are they well known/experienced with the lt drivetrain?
