I can be driving down the highway or sitting at a stoplight, the truck will just shut off. Turn it over starts sometimes it won't start takes a while for it to start back up. When you feel it's getting ready to die because it's piercing me losing pressure, I guess would be the word sometimes it feels like the truck is jerking back and forth as it's doing it, he also gets a hint of like a burnt hair smell don't know what that has anything to do with anything. My daughter says she is at issues with when it's getting ready to die if she says it feels like the whole motor shaking, I've never had experience that while driving. But there are times you got to double-foot it to get home now cam sensor was changed and my son said he did check the fuel pressure and it's at 60. So, John A blank here.

This can be many things, but I have seen a fuel pump starting to fail causing this problem. here is a guide to help us run the codes to see what comes up and I have included how to change the fuel pump out in case you need it.
