Just recently my truck will die while driving down the road and then start itself right back up. It dies like it would if you shut the key off, there is no backfire, slow dieing of the engine or sputter at all it just goes dead then comes right back. I read on the internet that some people found the crankshaft position sensor to be the problem. Do you think that is it? Or what else could it be, and do you know where the crankshaft position sensor is on this truck?
