have you checked for codes? sounds like maybe an electrical issue check your grounds and connections. Also put you stuff for your truck in you signature, Go to User CP in the Upper Left corner scroll down to edit signature.

I have the exact same problem I've been chasing wires for a week. I'm starting to think it might have something to do with the APPS because every time I "reset" it the truck started back up.. Let me know if you find anything new
