Truck shifts into Overdrive right around in there..... does the dieing out coincide with that? Was it any cooler when you drove it, as compared to when your son did? Might just be something getting hot..... (cam, or crank sensor), or, might be an electrical short on the O/D circuit. (if it dies when it hits O/D)
