My truck is losing power and shutting off while driving and maintenance light comes on while shutting off. I just replaced water pump and got oil change and radiator hose replaced also.

This sounds like a bad crankshaft angle sensor but to be sure we need to do a scan for codes. You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:

Here is the location for the crankshaft sensor in case a code comes up for it. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
