My truck listed above 1500 shuts off while driving. Stop and cranks back up.

How often does this cut off when you are driving? It sounds like an ignition issue if it just cuts off and then starts right back up.

However, we need to start with getting a little more info on this and then start checking things and that starts with checking for codes.

Here is a guide that will help with this:

Next here is a guide that will help with this issue in general and the crank sensor should be the first suspect. However, this normally doesn't allow the vehicle to start back up, but this is possible.

Please run through this info and let's go from there.

Thanks
