I bought a 2004.5, crew cab, long bed, Laramie, 4x4 with 290,000 miles on it a handful of months ago.
Engine is stock, I had to rebuild the transmission a month after buying it (that was a fun surprise) it had previously been shifting good, until it left the family stranded while towing our small toy hauler on vacation.
While driving down a bumpy dirt road yesterday all the lights on the dash flashed & the engine turned off...I pulled over, put it in park reset the key & the truck started right up. About 7 miles further it did the same thing.
I eventually got to work. On the way home, stayed on asphalt, it shut down again shortly after leaving work while driving on a bumpy driveway.
I do not know if it is related or not but a week or two before this happened the fuel tank was around 1/4 full & the truck would have to crank for 5-8 seconds before it would start. Sometimes it would start right away, and then die out & I would have to hold the key longer for it to continue running. But after I got a full tank it has not had the starting problem again. But I have yet to go through another tank of fuel.
I have been running Everyday Diesel Treatment in every tank. I do not believe that the previous owner ran any fuel treatment.
I do not drive the truck daily. Just for home depot runs, weekends, etc.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
