I thought it was the Automatic shutdown relay. By switching it with another. It would start and run till it decieds to stall again. Usually 5 to 10 miles. But somtimes 1 mile. Help! I really need my truck Curt

Does the dash guages do any thing strange? I've seen alternators make the dash guages fluctuate wildly and cause the veh to die. Seen this many times in my shop. Check the charging system. Loosing the dash could be a ground issue. Hope this helps some! Jeff

Could be as simple as a bad connector at any sensor, module etc...If you have access to a fax, I can download a chart and fax it to you. Take care, Jeff

What is probably happening is that a 5 or 8 volt sensor has a intermittant short and the pcm is shutting down to protect the circuit. If you had a scan tool I bet that everytime it restarts the starts since clear is 0 key starts due to pcm reseting. Crank sensor is most common for this but again it could be any 5 or 8 volt sensor. Have also put in a few 02 sensors for this issue.
