today I took the truck out. Started fine.. ran fine ..for about 4 blocks.
Got to a stop sign. Truck died.
Stated it. Died.
ect. ect.
Could keep it running by giving it gas but that was about it.
Well pushed it to the curb and did the foot on brake, foot on gas, throw into gear dance to get it out of the way.
Anyways since I obviously wasn't going anywhere I decided to just run it w/ a wee bit of pedal pressure to keep it chugging along.
Then got tired of it and took foot off gas.
Died.
Started it back up and it stayed running
SURPRISE!!!!!
Anyways rumor has it these things are picky about batteries and this winter I did have some starting issues at 0 degrees or such.
Truck is a secondary vehicle and gets very little drive time. A few days of extreme cold will kill it.
Battery is 5 yrs old
As of now no codes thrown.
Sooo is the battery thing REAL?
Any other troubleshooting steps?
