Truck died while driving. Let is sit for an hour would start up and drive for 10 minutes then die. I thought it was the CPS sensor so I changed it but that wasn't the issue. The issue turned out to be the IPR or as I call it the FPR because it regulates fuel not oil. I has a coil on the part that break down after a while and shuts off without warning or check engine lights or anything. The engine will just die. So that what it turned out to be, The part I found on amazon for $160 part #cm5013 So I had my mechanic change it and it has been running fine.
