Why does my truck keep dying?

You may be losing your PIP signal from the Crankshaft Position Sensor. $39 part with only one bolt... I had similar problem with stalling. After the sensor was replaced I saw an increase in power, and better shifting as well. Another problem the sensor was causing was an intermittent bucking while cruising. It took Ford a couple of weeks to diag...

I had the dying problem with my '99 for about 85,000 miles. I would have to reset the computer every 8,000 and that would take care of it for another 8K. I know this sounds crazy but, I read it somewhere in this message board to try changing out the PCV valve. It was cheap so I tried it and have had no more problems in the last 40,000 miles. It's worth a try.
Good Luck.

Hunt4Fun i am going to invest in one of the manuals, i had an old mustang and that booked saved my *** a couple of times. I just bought the truck a couple months ago so I haven't got one yet. Also, I completely took of the intake kit and reinstalled it double checking all my connections and they are all good. I will check them again this weekend. Thanks guys.

The Crankshaft Position Sensor is next to the Crankshaft passenger side, next to the air compressor. I did not replace mine myself, I had Ford do it. Carefull, the bolt holding the sensor is susceptable to the elements and can get rusted in side. This is what happened to mine for which Ford snapped the bolt. They were able to get the rest of the bolt out with out tap. My truck still has not stalled since replacement. Still have more power as well.
