Had the exact truck. I would say check your cam/crankshaft sensors. Bout 30$ a pop and 10 min to change on that truck. Normally come with rpm going crazy then will sputter and die. Have also seen it do just as you described. However this should pop a code. Filters and fuel system like stated above. Also the fuel pumps in those are notorious for getting build up over time. Only bad thing is, they'll have to drop the tank to get to it. Not hard to do but some shops like to try and charge like it is. Best of luck!

Had a darn $265 bill for that place. :/ Got my keys back yesterday. It's sitting on their lot but this mornin here in a few I'ma have it towed to the other shop I got a good referral for. Guy said he'll look at it right away and said he won't sugra coat nothin. Supposed to look at it soon as it gets there......so if I'm lucky, I'll know something by the end of today.... I'm so flustered still. $265......for basically NOTHING. That's ALOT of money for someone who doesn't have any!  |

Thanks y'all. Just met the towdriver and paid for the $170 tow to the new shop.  Gonna cost me $80 off the bat for the new guy to check it all through, but at least this guy seems honest! I'll update y'all soon as I hear anything.  |

*sigh* Called the new shop today. He's super busy I guess, and they'll be closed Monday of course, so he said he should be getting to it on Tuesday. |

Called mechanic this past Friday, he said it'd likely be Tuesday (yesterday) before he got to it. Well I haven't heard a thing. So tomorrow at lunchtime I'ma give him a call. I don't think that'd be too "pushy." I'm starting to wonder if I am just too polite, and people are starting to mistake that as a weakness of sorts? Ugh.

Your not too pushy. He's just a typical mechanic. Can't trust most of them. Even if he hasn't looked at it, he should have updated you.

X2 on what they both said. Please post the results when you hear something, I cannot stand lousy mechanics.
Wish I was closer,
Best of luck!

Thanks y'all. I'ma call at lunch time. Hell it costs me $180 dang dollars (that I sure didn't have) just to get it towed to his shop because he's a bit far from me. I sure hope he has SOMETHING to tell me when I call.
Yeah supposedly he was GREAT when he replaced a friend of my husband's engine in his truck. Go figure. I understand busy.....but EVERYONE is a paying customer.

The whole thing boils down to, he told u to bring it to him n he would look at it the nxt day. His word aint worth a flip evidently. Yes he may hav pleanty of work, but dont say ur gonnahav somethn done at a specific timeline but not meet it. I nvr tell our customers a timeline on maint, i tell them between 1 day and 1 week or when i call n say its ready.

Just called him. Still hasn't got to looking at it yet  He said to "Give him another day or two" because he is "pretty backed up."  |

I'd tell him he's about to be "backed up" with a foot up his rear.
If he won't stick to his word before he even looks at it i wouldn't trust him to do you right once it's time to work on it.
