Check this out. Has anyone had to replace the "pick-up plate" yet? Mine
went out here recently and it'll make the truck do some pretty wierd stuff.
My Dak was rollin' along at 55 (or at least that's how fast I was
SUPPOSED to be going) and it just cut off, like it ran out of fuel. Then,
within a minute it started itself right back up! No shit! Did all kinds of stuff
like stalling out at stop lights and not starting in the morning. I got the thing
replaced (about 140 if I remember correctly). All better.

Something similar happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I was sitting at
a
red light when the engine just kinda shuddered and died like it had run out
of fuel (I still had a quarter of a tank left). I turned the key and it
started right back up, then when I got home I ran the diagnostic test and
got no fault codes. It hasn't done that since that one time <crossing
fingers, knocking on wood> but just in case, keep us informed about
what
you find out and what the dealer did.
