I'll check it out. It does seem to happen more after its been driven a few miles or is still warm. Like last weekend, I drove about 10 mile to autozone and back three times. On the third trip it started cutting out on me. I took the wife out for a quick trip last night to drop off a movie we rented...fine on the way there but starting cutting out on me about a mile from home. Because it's a stick, it keeps itself running most of the time. That was 10 mile round trip. The other odd thing is that it doesn't do it every day. I;ve driven it around for tree weeks at a time. We moved from Cornelius to Statesville back in OCT and I hauled load after load with it for days without an incident. Even with the problem last Sunday I had driven it for three days with no problems. I stopped on my last trip for gas and it started up a few miles after that. I always get gas at the same place...not sure if that makes a difference. When I bought it in Sep, the previous owner had replace both fuel pumps and the gastank (new one). He told me it had a bad ground cable and would occasionally cut off and just to jiggle the cable around and it would start back up. I replaced the ground cable and it still does it. Also, when it happens, if you try to start it back up, it will start quickly but cut off and then appears not to be getting fuel, but I can hear the fuel pump running with the key on. After about 2 minutes, it will start right up like nothing ever happened. I figure he would pop the hood open, giggle the ground cable around a minute and then it would work so thats what he though it was. I really think it may be electrical but I'm pretty green mechanically...
