Your check engine light comes on and off without a clear reason, and you've had the computer replaced multiple times only to have it fail again within a week. The real culprit appears to be a damaged engine wiring harness that has destroyed 5 computers so far. While driving, your engine suddenly shuts off without warning, your power steering stops working, and the vehicle only restarts while rolling—this has happened several times on the road.

Your truck unexpectedly shuts off while driving at highway speeds and at stop signs, and won't restart for at least an hour afterward. This has happened multiple times since February 2020, creating dangerous situations where you're stranded in traffic lanes. The hazard lights also stop working when the engine dies. The issue has been diagnosed as a faulty TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module), which may require replacement to restore reliable operation.
