360 v8. he says it just dies. looses everything as if you turned the key off.
I have not witnessed his truck doing this.

he pops it in nutral , turns the key and it starts right back up.

Intermittents... always fun.....

First, verify all electrical connections on things like the coil, and various sensors, are clean, and tight. Since it will fire right back up again, it kinda points to a bad connection somewhere.
