2 Crankshaft Position Sensor problem

Failure Date: 06/10/2008

I have a 2001 2500 hd Chevrolet with the 8. 1 liter engine. The vehicle will stall in traffic and will not start again. The truck will run rough sometimes will start after a cool down period. This is a very dangerous situation with it stalling in traffic. This is the crankshaft sensor which is covered for same pickup with same engine out of a different plant. They say even though it is the same faulty part my pickup is not covered because it is from a different plant. This almost caused a accident while I was driving as it stalled as I was making a turn.
