the truck has a plow assy. , it was put on about 2 years ago. never had a problem starting before. at first it wouldn't do anything but just click when you turn the key. i messed around with the fuse and relay box under the hood and now it only starts up and runs for about 4 or 5 minutes then just shuts off.
what do you think ?

First, are the battery terminals clean and tight? Also, have you checked the fuel pressure? WHen it dies, does it start right back up? If not, have you checked to see if it is getting spark and fuel?
