My 2002 Silverado 2500 HD, 8.1 dies out at times while driving. I have to lock and unlock the doors with the remote to get truck to re-start. Sometimes it seems to die when I hit the brakes. Any ideas of what the problem might be. Thanks for your time.
Sprinter I was surprised that this wasn't a reoccurring problem with other owners. I couldn't find any similar problems to try and learn from. I have to guess computer issues. I really don't see anyway around it given the amount of systems that are involved. You need a diagnostic on the Silverado's computer. This sounds like a visit to your dealer to me.
Good luck!

my 02 2500hd 8.1 would die out after it would warm up, and only restart after a couple minutes of cranking! it was the crank angle sensor!
