Not starting back up after ran for a while. I have replaced the spark plugs and wire set. I also replaced the battery and terminals and had my alternator tested. This is my first b2200 and I really like it but I am tired of getting stranded on my way to work. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Does "Not starting back up after ran for a while" mean that the engine spins with the starter and doesn't run? If so, check the ignition switch electrical part; these tend to go bad over time on these trucks.

If the starter won't spin, then check battery under load, clean connections, check starter too.

Ok thanks.I am going to check the ignition switch and starter next. I just changed out the battery yesterday and I'm not sure if the engine is spins with the starter. I'll have to have my mechanic friend help me out. lol

Good - your mechanic friend should be well-experienced in troubleshooting a "fail to spin engine" condition. And to then troubleshoot whether fuel or spark related if it spins the engine and doesn't start. There could be a lot to learn from him.
