I'm having an issue with my CB. Whenever I transmit, the engine shuts off. At first, I thought it may be a power issue. For testing purposes, I hooked the CB radio up directly to the battery. No power lines running through the cab as I had it sitting on the front bumper. Engine stalls out as soon as I push the transmit button. I've tried different CBs and different antennas with no success. I can receive just fine. Any one ever run into something like this? As a side note, this is not my first time installing a CB. I have another one set up in a different vehicle. The truck is a 98 Tacoma.

I have other 12 volt accessories running on the truck. I have an ARB air pump that runs fine and does not stall the truck. That should be pulling more power than a CB.

Thanks.
