Beautiful truck. Looks like it's been lifted. Just wanted to mention Fuse 27. If it hasn't been changed to Fuse 70, you may want to have the dealership do that also. It has nothing to do with your stalling problem as once it blows, the truck won't run at all. $30 and less than an hour for do-it-yourselfer. Or carry extra 20amp mini fuses and hope the panel isn't burned. Welcome to the forum. Lots of help on here.

Thanks for the welcoming notes.
Basically the dealership said no updates available, they could not replicate the stalling or any of the other issues.
I have the fuze 27 relocation kit, just need to do it.
Here is the list of things I hope to do in the near future.

  1. Help filter mod because the truck smells very dusty".
  2. New headlights
  3. Gen 2 shocks (not a priority, as I am 54 year old professor, who is using this to attack his mid life crises and loving it)
  4. Patch a rust hole in the bed.
  5. Reinstall the three lights in the grill.
  6. Install the front side marker lights as the PO left those off during the rebuild process.
  7. The ride is very bouncy, a friend who looked at the truck, thinks my shocks are shot, but the PO told me that the shocks were rebuilt by https://www.myshockshop.com/services, I just do not know where to look for a good set of Gen2 shocks, as the forum members have suggeted it as a good upgrade.
The truck does great on the freeway, but has a jerky take off and low speed driving, but I guess this how a big truck is supposed to drive. I have added photos of the frame swap, provided to me by the PO.
