Stalling and losing power

I've noticed now that the truck isn't just stalling all the time, it now most of the time loses power to the stock gauges. It's been stalling and not restarting till I get out ,open the hood and tap the fuse box, then the power to the gauges(ignition) come back on and I can start it up again.:hmmmm2:

Got a loose connection or a bad relay.

What he said.

Pull your relays and check their connections for corrosion. Check your battery terminals as wells, just to make sure both are tight. I believe there is also another bolt connection in the fuse box. Make sure it is tight as well, if there is.

This is definitely an electrical issue. If it's killing as much as it is it has to be something fairly big. Has to be ignition or main power or something of that nature. I can't believe the two shops you've brought this to couldn't figure it out. Hack jobs.

And he doesn't have any TRD injectors or the stock pulley to swap in.

Next time this happens, turn the truck to the on position and see if the intercooler pump turns on.

When it stalls and catches itself the maintenance light blinks then goes away. Gonna try and get a video of when it totally loses power and what the lights do after I tap the fuse box. Of course it seems like it doesn't wanna do it for me today:thumbdown:

Pretty clear the main power feed is having an issue.
