Truck died shortly after started,, has happened a couple of times before ,,Thought it was the pmd again.. started right back up though and then tried to die again,, I gave some gas and kept it going then it shook and started acting like it had no power,, usaully when i stop it down she pours out black smoke and were haulling A$$ but not this time hardly any smoke came out and the motor sounded mufflered ,, took me for ever to get up to speed ,,
I changed pmd with spare and changed shut of solinoind switch.

I will post check list after i get of work.. My ride showed up early and got to go,,

any ideas please post..

plugged exhaust? bad EGR valve dumping hot exhaust in all the time?
