    ABS light comes on, engine dies won't restart

    Thought I would do a follow up on the problem. The truck had an aftermarket alarm. I disconnected the power to it and bypassed the the starter interupt with a 10 amp fuse. It has been about six months and not a problem. B.

    ABS light comes on, engine dies won't restart

    Fuel Delivery Problem ????

    You might want to check for voltage at the fuel pump/sending unit electrical connector located on the left frame rail.
