Hey guys ....... it has around 100.000 miles on it. I never had this problem until I took it in to have the water pump replaced. After I got the truck back ...... my three year old battery had to be replaced. Charging system was checked and new battery installed. After that my truck would randomly stop running........ not die but turn off. I would put it in neutral and restart and continue on. It can happen on the interstate, backing out of drive way, pulling away from gas pump. I thought it was a computer issue, so I lifted the negative from the battery and let it reset and relearn.... still the same problem. Took it in ..... of course it never does it when in the shop or when they test drive..... there's no errors on diagnostic. They cleaned throttle body etc....... Im at a loss. Please help.

Did you try the throttle control sensor? My 01' was doing that, very scary deal.

The time your engine dies, do you still have battery?
Can you honk your horn with your head lights on?
