Long story very short...I hope. I have a 2009 Laramie 4wd with the 5.7. Over the last 6 mos the truck has begun to do some odd things. Firstly, and the most dangerous is the truck when driving will simply shut off for 2-4 seconds & then fire back up. I can be doing 5 mph or 80 mph and then it simply shuts off. I have had to 3 dealerships...no codes and have searched the web...nothing! It does not due it often maybe 5x so far. I can go months between occurrences or days. Sometimes just the lights go out but keeps running but most of the time it shuts off.
Second when starting it sometimes fires up and then shuts off. I turn it back on and all is good. Like the first issue, no codes & no pattern.
I'm guessing they're related and it's nothing with the fuel line and/or pump as that was checked. With two young kids I'm getting ready to trade it in as I cannot have it shutting off like this in traffic. I'm robbed of steering & breaks for that split second and don't want to risk it.
I may write into Truck Trend to see if they respond with some ideas but anything here would be great. Thanks
