Truck dies & restarts ??
OK this is a 1998 f150 , manual , 4.6 L , and the problem seem moisture related , because it goes completely away after the truck runs a while.
The engine just dies like you turned off the key then quickly restarts , its like
a flick on and off . the dash lights even flick just like you turned the key on & off ?? Now it's a manual and in gear so it's just jump starting it sel.
This only happens at the days first drive and like I said if it rained or alot of dew in the morning . After that the problem is gone but I know sooner or later it is going to DIE !!! any ideas

This is the truth ,I was just thinking how I had a corroded negative terminal and cleaned it a few weeks ago ??? This morning I said to my self I have to get on-line and say THANK YOU because it looked like that solved the problem 
Well on the way out this morning she did it off then on then off and never came back on DEAD ! reach for my cell .... it's on charge at home @#!##@!
Had it towed home , I'm broke (unemployed) can't bring her to a shop .
Checking her out really don't find anything , give it a try she starts right up and runs like a top ??? Put her in gear just to pull it up alittle died again and won't star up
Would those cops due this and if so how do i check them ?
Any other thoughts out there
Have all day tomorrow to tinker for that matter have more than just tomorrow
