This issue start about 2 months ago. While driving the truck runs fine. On occassion the truck die completely, no sluggishness or fading out just dies and loses all power as if you have shut off the truck.

I have replaced all ignition parts with the exception of the pickup coil in the distributor cap. Heres a list.

Plugs
Wires
Coil
Cap
Rotor Button
ECM tested Good

At a loss. Weird thing about it is when it shuts down it will crank right back up.
