The truck shuts off while driving and will only restart after it cools down, it happens quicker if I run the A/C. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

It sounds like the fuel pump is going out, but to be sure we need to check the fuel pressure. Here are a couple of guides to get us started so we can get you back on the road:

And if it is bad here is a guide that will show you what you are in for when doing the job:

This guide should help as well.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
