I've basically have replaced everything on this truck known to man. Last year it blew a head I replaced the heads both of them and reset timing and all that good stuff. 58 hrs later it just poof! Outta know where started doin this. So I'm not sure but I'll tell u this I've got over 15,000 in the truck and see isn't the greatest looking but isn't the uglyest but by looking at her u tell itself no way maybe 8,000 but literary I've gotten $15,899 in her and I just can let her go but can let her hurt my family so any thing idea wise would help and if what u say is true and fixes my truck I shall keep my word. Thank u sir.!

First as Tennis says check the fuel tank there is a baffle the may have come loose and causing the fuel to slosh in the tank. If thats ok check the RPMs I believe it should be about 600 RPM. Brake vacuum leaks could cause stalling at hard braking. You may want to check your MAF sensor, your idle control and O2 sensor. If those check good your hormonic balancer should be checked...

Every sensor the hormonic balancer has been replaced. Every since tho when its happened my gas hand and other when I turn on my turn signal to go right also tick and go right but not left just like it does when shuts off so idk I wish u guys lived close and could do tos for me after my surgery's its hard for me to do anything. Thank u tennis shoes and Joe's mom

I suggest you call around locate a capable repair shop let them know the list of parts changed, ask If the have a GM TECH 2 scanner (old one) and what the rate is to completely diagnose this vehicle a $100 or less is reasonable. NO need for worry, or more parts changing you need to know EXACTLY whats wrong NO guessing. Regards

There may be a wiring problem where turning or braking causes the frame or body to flex shorting the connection intermittently to ground causing the engine to lose power. Also the problem may be something in the fuel system. It might be helpful to monitor the fuel pressure when this occurs to determine if it is fuel or electrical. To monitor the fuel pressure I have seen mechanics tie in a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail and duct tape it to the windshield so that the pressure can be seen by the driver. When the problem is more isolated it can be more easily diagnosed. My best guess is electrical, but it is ONLY a guess.
