I have a 2002 chevy Silverado 2500hd with a 8. 1. Two months ago the truck just stalled while I was driving it and then immediately re-started. Since then there have been several occasions where the truck simply shuts off while I am driving. It has become progressively difficult to restart the engine. I stalled out in the middle of an intersection the other day and sat there for 2-3 minutes trying to start the truck. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to when or why this happens. My engine light has never been tripped by this problem. After reading the trouble codes and consulting with several mechanics we determined the problem to be the crank shaft position sensor. As I read through complaints on this website I notice this is a fairly common problem. It is also very dangerous. With the amount of complaints and the level of danger associated with this I would hope this would be recalled for the safety reasons.
