Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

While driving, the engine will suddenly shut down and without warning stop.

I currently drive a 2002 chevy Silverado 2500hd with an 8. 1l engine. I've now taken my truck into four different mechanics for the same issue. My truck will randomly shut off the engine. I've had it shut off at stoplights, at highway speeds, driving around town, and everything in-between. Occasionally, it won't even start. It sounds like it wants to turn over but to no avail. And when it stops, it takes about 5 minutes to finally get it restarted and driving again. Of course, no mechanic can ever figure out what's wrong since it won't act up in the shop. I've had them tell me it could be a host of things from air problems to fuel line problems to electrical issues. No one can give me a straight answer. I've even had one mechanic drop my fuel tank to inspect the pump to see if it's the problem. Even then, nothing acted up. There now is a code showing up saying my crank sensor is faulty. Almost every mechanic is convinced it's my fuel pump but I have great pressure in the lines. I've noticed several people with my same year and engine have had similar issues. As well, I noticed there was a recall for the crank sensors on 2001 models but not 2002 models. Why is this? I think there's just as many issues in that year as there are in following years. This issue can be a real problem if I lose power steering and wreck due to the engine shutting off! how is this not a recall for 2002 and yet a recall for 2001? I have yet to see a ses light go on for this issue. I've got just over 100,000 miles on this truck. Please tell me that this will be a recall or at least this is the issue surrounding my problems!.

2002 2500hd silverado with 8. 1 engine. Two times it cranked with no start. Two other times it shut off at highway speeds with no warning of any kind. Changed the fuel pump and fuel filter. Finally changed the crank sensor. The sensor fixed the problem.
