Thanks for the support! It’s been a good learning experience for me at the local Dealerships.
I got my truck back last Tuesday after it being back at dealership for a week. It was the 5th time in 3 months! This time I broke down and itemized list and description of the trucks issues past few...

Trans valve body and solenoids-replaced
Trans seals-replaced

MAF sensor-replaced
Throttle body-replaced
K&N filter cleaned-
No check engine or wrench right now.
My obd2 scanner says no codes currently present in Drivetrain or...
I called the dealership and left a msg for the service advisor, let’s see if they can come through. I have almost exhausted all other probabilities at this point.
The main reason I’m anti dealer right now is the lack of competence my 2 local Dealerships have near Palm Desert California. I asked about reflashing the pcm when it went in for throttle body and they said not needed.I didn’t have any idle or dying issues until it went in for #1 transmission...

Well well well, what’s wrong in this pic?
Sometimes when things are so obvious in your face, they are actually hidden in plain view.
obviously the techs at the dealer forgot to check all connections...

Replaced-
Lead frame and valve body in transmission
Optima red top Battery
MAF sensor
Throttle...
It sure is strange. Again ran fine all day yesterday until stopped at a light and it died on my again.........,
Restarted fine and drove home.
Sure would be nice if I could determine if computer was issue myself, I’m pretty much done giving money to the dealership.
