Heres my story,I started the truck a couple of days ago and it died almost immediately,no big deal I restarted and it died again.Third time I got it to stay lit and let it warm up a few minutes to be sure,pulled out and it died a few blocks away at a stop.No spitting or sputtering it just dies like a switch was thrown and will re crank immediately afterwords just fine.I changed out the electronic ignition module, coil and ignition switch one at a time with no luck or improvement.Ive checked for loose or broken wires as well as I can and found nothing.The battery is good and the alternator is putting out 14.44 volts.
At speeds of 25 mph or higher I ocassionaly feel a hiccup like its trying to quit but I guess momentum is keeping it going.Also after reaching full operating temp it shows the problem less.
Any suggestions will be appreciated as usual. ,,,Dale

Ive found the problem.There are 2 wires connecting to the stator in the distributor,the lower one was broken but maintaing contact with the stub on the stator.Apparently vibration would cuause it to sometimes lose contact making the truck shut off.The guys at NAPA said they had seen this happen before.
