Electrical or Fuel problem
Im having trouble with my Dodge 1999 Magnum 5.2
I can be driving and out of the blue the truck loses power
turns off the gauges all go down .. can have full tank of gas
and it will go to empty, some times will crank right back up
other times I have to let set for about 5 / 10 minutes. check
engine light comes on, but as soon as starts it will go off again
also , where the mileage is , it will say no bus .. Not sure what is
going on, We have changed the plugs, wires, (condenser)pick up coil,distributor cap, and coil not sure what else it possible could be
Husband still is saying electric but he is at a lose....
Thanks

Welcome to DF! 
Does the truck continue to run when the gauges take a dump?
Basically, no bus means the cluster is losing communication with the PCM. On your truck, 99% of what the cluster knows is sent from the PCM, via the central timer module. Basically, its a little network in your truck. If the truck quits when the problem presents itself...... it is indeed an electrical problem...... and is a lot of fun to figure out.
