Description of the problem	On a sunday, i was on a side street when the engine went dead. I noticed the wrench light was on. I called the wrecker service as it was still in warranty. The wrecker driver arrived and asked if i had tried to restart it, which i didn't. I started it and drove home. I took it to the dealer on 06/04/08. They could not duplicate the error nor find anything in the computer module. On 03/29/09, the same thing happened. If i had been on a highway or freeway, i might have had a serious accident. I waited a few minutes, then the truck started up again. I took it back to the dealer on 04/01/09. They kept it overnight doing various tests. The computer showed nothing. They finally suggested to replace the throttle body and reprogram the pcm. I agreed even though it was out of warranty and cost me $484 to repair. I was leery of driving on a highway and freeway as if it happens there, i'm sure if i can't pull over i will surely cause an accident. Subsequent checks on the internet found the is a common occurrence. The engine is supposed to go into "limp mode" to allow one to slowly, but safely drive to a safe spot. My truck, and many others, do not go into "limp mode"; they just go dead. I strongly suggest this be investigated before a serious accident occurs due to this default.
