1-2 times a week, when i am going to school in the morning at apporx. 6:45am my truck dies on me at the exact same spot. it cranks up fine first thing in the morning, and then drives fine until i reach one spot, and then it just randomly dies on me. then once i get it to a complete stop, it cranks up like nothing happen after about 2 tries. anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

when you try to crank it back up, does your dash lights come on or not?

Only 3 things required to get a truck to run-fuel,air and spark.If it stops,one of those 3 things arent present.If it stops at the same place each time,I would be 99% that it is fuel related.How long since fuel filter changed?May also be the in-tank filter is clogged up-fuel all drains back into tank at nite and in am truck is running off fuel in fuel bowl.When that is empty it stops.When u crank it a time or two,it sucks enough gas past the filter to run again.How about fuel delivery?Is ur fuel pump working ok?Should be able to hear a solenoid click when u turn key on.How about gas cap?Is the gasket ok and is it sealing good?Those would be my suggestions to start the trouble shooting process.bj
