I am scratching my head on this one... just started 3 days ago. when cold the truck starts easy, drives good. nothing out of the ordinary. After driving about 10 miles (15KMS) at a red light the truck will stall. I let it sit for a few minutes, then hit the key and the truck will start. if i don't let it sit and keep hitting key, the engine just turns over and won't fire. The truck so far hasn't died while moving. just at lights.
This has happened 4 times now. I have checked the Volts 14.8 running and 13 when not running so battery seems good. haven't checked volts when it dies. how can I check amps? and where should I take a temp of the alternator with IR? (i do have other alternators I can place in just wanted to ask this first to see if I am over looking something)
Doubt its a lack of fuel, but been known to be wrong before.
done all the basic checks, loose wires, connections and crap.
