I started the truck and it ran for about ten to fifteen minutes. I cleaned the engine then washed the rest of the truck. As I finished washing the truck it shut off now it will not start. It has done something like this before it just wound not start the next day it started.

It sounds like you got some electrical connectors wet. I would lift the hood for a day and disconnect the battery. Try to remove any connectors near the top of the engine so they can dry out as well.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
