In either case i would not want to see you stuck with 5 kids in veh. intermit problems have a better chance of being solved when testing can be performed at time problem occurs . take one step at a time and eliminate one poss problem at a time its either no or not enough fuel or no spark and needs to be check when it occurs.good luck

Yes!!! It is a big pain to not know when it's going to die. It almost got me in trouble one time!!! My hubs actually works out of town for 2 weeks of the month, so I have just been driving his crew cab around. Problem is when he's home we don't all fit in the crew cab...not to mention the price of running that beast ('96 Ford F350 diesel)...plus I would just like to have my vehicle running again! He has already replaced the alt, spark plugs and wires. He's not much of a Chevy guy and doesn't know a whole lot about working on them. He was puzzled when he drove it and it died (that's why it's at the shop). I will def have him check the things you mentioned out when he gets home (and if the shop can't figure it out before then). Thx!!
