My 1500 ('14) kept shutting off right when i started it this morning for a bunch of times. I have the push button start and as soon as I would press it, it would start and then shut off. I turned off all the lights and nav and strated it, it turned on, turned my lights on then it shut off again.

The battery I'm pretty sure is good as headlights, radio, ac...everything worked. i then got it on, drove slowly, turned the lights on, and then it went off again. Eventually I got it where it does stay on with the lights on but I have a check engine light sign on but no messages on the display though.

Anyone else experience this before? I also installed the HID 50w headlights from Retro back in Oct/Nov and have never had this issue before.

Display won't read out codes, gunna need to have it scanned. Will hopefully point you in the right direct. That sure is odd tho. Warranty to the rescue!

Ignition would be usual suspect, wires dist cap (little early in your trucks life though), clogged fuel filter, bad sensor. Run codes, or dealer will for free I guess with warranty.
