In the last three months my truck has randomly shut off but it says check gauges I can switch off the key and turn it back on and it will crank up just fine. This is with in 10 minutes of just cranking the truck up from sitting for a while. Suggestions would help greatly. 06 xlt 4x4 w/134,545 miles on her.

Did you check the usual suspects like the fuel filter and the fuel pressure module by the spare tire. Im not as knowledgeable as some of these guys but those 2 came to mind

The fpdm isn't but 1 yr new and the fuel filter is fairly new

when it tells you to check gauges... anything low...like oil pressure ??

Nothing is low when it does it, I guess because the engine shuts off the gauges drop and causes it to say that but I'm thinking something having to do with the fuel system because I can pull over, put it in park and it'll fire right up.

Check your battery cables. Make sure your battery is strapped down also.

I’m thinking power too..

Reason I mention the strap on the battery, is because I've seen where a battery will bounce, and hit the hood, and ground out. Shuts the truck off just like that. Happened on our f450 dumptruck at work, where the battery is closer to the hood, but check it anyways.
