While driving, my trucks engine will suddenly just shut off. It does not sputter, it just simply "turns off". I can restart it right away, and it seems normal.

I have seen the TIPM go out and cause this issue, but we should run the codes first to see what comes up. Also, I have left the replacement instructions in the diagrams below for the TIPM replacement. It won't leave any codes when this is bad, but it is easy to replace because it self-learns.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
