    Fueled up, pulled ahead, left it running, went in to get a receipt, came out 5 min later and she's shut off, still have 12v but it won't crank over even..

    Thoughts?

    Do any lights come on or any dash lights or do the instruments activate when you turn the key on? Anything working when you turn the key on? Any clicking like the starter is getting fire but not turning over? Is anything happening?

    I'm more baffled at how it just shut down with no warning, after running 2 days straight..

    I would check the power lead at the starter and make sure it's tight. If it are, maybe take it off and clean the cable and terminal, put some dielectric grease on it and put the tighten. It only takes a small amount of amperage drop for a split second to shut down an ecm.

    Batteries should have 12.6 or greater voltage when the truck is shut off. Might want to have them load tested.

    I'm guessing since I had a cooler plugged into the 12v when it died that sucked up some juice :/
