I switched my stereo to my Denali and it locked stereo up switched it back to my suburban turned on no problem. Now my suburban will just shut off no reason driving down the road and sometimes it won’t start at all.

This sounds like the crankshaft angle sensor or the fuel pump has gone out. when you turn the key to the on position without cranking the engine over can you hear the fuel pump run in the tank for 5 seconds? These guides should help us fix it.

Also, lets run the codes to see what come up.

Yes, you can hear fuel pump kick on that was replaced not to long ago. Not throwing any codes. It did start up run for 45 minutes then shut off. Haven't checked crankshaft sensor. Did reprogram key fob. So will let you know.
