Engine Stall Problems of Chevrolet C/k 2500

I have a 2001 Chevrolet 2500 series truck with an 8. 1 liter engine. I have experienced several engine stalls while driving. After a few minutes the engine would restart. Since the vehicle is off warranty and I do not have a local Chevrolet dealer I had an independent auto repair shop attempt to diagnose the problem. The computer was not producing codes and diagnosis was not possible. After several attempts over a few weeks a code was finally picked up indicating a "crankshaft position sensor failure" which is occurring intermittently. I then discovered that gm had recalled many vehicles due to this problem and replaced the sensor as recently as last year. I contacted gm only to find that even though the symptoms of my vehicle are identical to those recalled, my VIN # is a few out of the recall sequence but gm may consider replacing my sensor if I get a diagnosis at a gm dealership. Herein lies my problem. Due to the intermittent nature of the failure, diagnosis is difficult. It it does not occur while at the dealership I must drive it until another time. I live 35 miles from the dealership and travel even further from there often. When the engine stalls I lose steering and brakes. I am reluctant to continue driving back and forth to the dealership hoping it does not stall in traffic as it has in the past but stalls at a point that produces a code for the dealership. I have a code diagnosis from an independent shop and I just want this safety issue resolved just like gm did with thousands of other 2001 Chevrolet 2500 trucks under recall #06083.
