Truck died then won't start
I was driving on the highway and the truck was running smoothly, but it was late shifting into 4th gear. Rather than let it redline i let off the gas to let it shift, but it never did. My truck was still running but when I put my foot back on the gas pedal nothing happened. I coasted to a stop and pulled over to the side of the road. As soon as i came to a complete stop the engine died, no sputtering or anything else; just like I had turned it off.
Now i get a crank but no start. There are no DTC's. I have not had a chance to have it towed home yet so I have not checked for spark or fuel pressure, but I do hear the sound from the fuel pump when I turn the ignition on. I was just wondering if anyone had anything for me to consider while I am waiting.
Thanks.

No spark then it seems. Check all electrical connections at the battery, fuse box next to it, the alternator block & starter. Also check connections for the coil, the frame to it could be rusty & may need to get wire brushed clean where it mounts behind the belt tensioner. If there are no code reading at all & all connections are good, you may need the control module replaced.
