The truck died on me at work, I had it towed and checked out, and was told that it had been a loose connection.
This morning it started without any issue, but when I stopped to get cigs at the gas station, I tried to start it and found it was dead again (no noises whatsoever this time around), luckily I was at the service station. I had them check it out, they cleaned up the battery terminals, connectors, fully charged up the battery, and tightned everything up. I was told that they'd found that there had been a bad connection on one of the wires.
The mechanic took it for a ride and it seems like the issue has been rectified, but being that I was told everything was ok once before, i'm not so sure I trust it.
The ABS and brake lights are on now also, which I didn't have on before, anyone have any clue as to what the issue can be?

In my '98 when the ABS and brake lights came on it was the electronic sensor and had nothing to do with the actual brakes. Hopes that's it.
