so my truck has cut off on me three times in the past two days. the first time was driving through a parking lot yesterday. and then about a half an hour after that i was turning around and it did it again. then today i was backing up and when i stopped and put it in drive it died again. i just filled her up with 89 at the same store i been getting gas at in the 1.5 years i have had the truck. never had a problem with thier fuel before. and i am not seeing any performance decrease. she still runs like a ***** date! i had the CEL checked last night and the only code it had was for my coolant temp being to low and thats because of my 180 t-stat. anybody have any ideas? im worried about my baby!!!!

When it was cutting off was the ETC flashing assuming you have a HEMI? When my throttle body took a crap it would do that. It would run its ass off and act normal then flash the ETC light and turn the truck off. Talk about a good time pulling onto an exit ramp from the interstate going 50.
