Trucks' been neglected (my own damn fault) a couple years but its getting much needed tlc.
Also I've noticed another problem, on 2 occasions while driving in the city the truck wanted to choke out on me. Never did die on me but just hesitated for 3 seconds before returning to normal. Crazy thing is the 1st time it happened on me was when I took a random turn, the 2nd time was when I shifted into drive after starting it and let it idle for 5 min. Both times everything electrical blanked out for a second then came back on. It idles good, no engine light, stock fuel pump was replaced <1000 miles ago and the alt. was replaced a couple days ago (bearing inside was going out).

replace the ignition switch. these now are failing with you type vehicle. sometimes it will only effect the transmission but the contacts do not last forever. best replace it before you get stuck or it damages the electrical components like the fuel pump with an erratic supply voltage.
