WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS, THEN TURNED OFF. ABOUT 30 SECONDS LATER, THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE GAUGE ZEROED OUT. 2MINS LATER THE TRUCK DIED, AND WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINS IT WOULD RESTART LIKE NORMAL. THEN IT WOULD REPEAT THE PROBLEM. CAN ANYONE GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION ON THE PROBLEM? MY DIAGNOSTIC SKILL SUCKS. THE ENGINE DOES NOT MAKE ANY NOISE PRIOR TO THE PROBLEM. NO KNOCKING OR ANYTHING.

The computer has identified a problem within the engine management system to find out the OBD2 code/s has to be pulled from it.

Do an actual oil pressure check-if normal change out the oil pressure sending unit-could also be the cause for stalling it powers the fuel pump see below

At the rear of the engine on the drivers side of the distributor.
