Maybe you could share more information. Like "left you stranded". What happened? Were you driving along and it just stopped running? Did you go out to start it and it would not start? Be specific if you can. You stated it will not turn over just keeps on cranking. Do you mean it does turn over but will not start. Did it have to be towed in. Did it start when you picked it up at the shop? If they can find nothing wrong with it, it must have started and ran good. If all else fails and this keeps happening, I would be looking at a fuel issue, i.e., poor fuel or fuel delivery. Makes no sense that it won't start for you but starts fine at the dealer. However, some intermittent problems happen. Give us a little more detail.

Let us know what the dealer says. I hope it is not one of those weird intermittant deals that is hard to trace. Good Luck.

Just a suggestion....if & when it does it again DON'T try to start it. Let the tow truck take it to the dealer in the same condition as when it died, then maybe they will have a better chance at a correct diagnosis.

I'm guessing something electronic that is maybe heat related????

Hope is is something simple!

Did you check the fuel filters?

As one of you posted ,do not try to start it ,I did try to start it and it wouldnt start so i left it at that.
Called roadside, following Monday late morning ,the dealership called and said they are trying to find out why it wouldnt start they would be intouch, later that afternoon they called found a pinch wireharness to the fuel module under the cab that was shorting out and shuting the pump dn .

Hope thats what it was still waiting to get my truck back. Hope it gets better mpg
