Still chasing why my truck keeps dying

[df2x4]

I can stomp on those brakes 10 times and it won't do anything...

I figured as much, was just throwing out ideas. That sucks!

Oh, yah man, that's why I made the thread. I wanted to throw out ideas and bounce things off of other people and get their ideas.

Switch is in! Shift interlock doesn’t click like crazy anymore... so hopefully I will get the seat in quick and test it.

Went ahead and shampood the floor while I was in there. Not a true shampoo... more of a deodorizing.

So far... fuse back in... new switch in... truck has not died!

Fingers crossed man, hopefully that fixes it.

Drove it all around today... didn’t die. I think we have a fix here...

Automatic transmission, truck randomly dies, in gear, with brake applied, at very low speeds (coming to a stop), fuel pressure is maintained when it dies, idles and runs great, no vacuum leaks, does not die when in neutral or park and the brakes are applied.

Brake light switch!

I think it was the dirty carpet

Hah, you’re probably right. It does smell good in there right now! Had a shampoo/Febreeze bath.

I even put a new black ice tree in.

Thanks for keeping the thread updated, glad you got it figured out!

I am really starting to lean toward the brake switch and the TC. Ever since I pulled the "brake" fuse mentioned back on like the 2nd post of this thread, it hasn't happened! I just took it for a spin and tried everything I could do to get it to stall and it didn't.

What I may do is throw the brake switch in and plug the fuse back in. Then, see if it happens.

There was a hidden code:
P0719 Torque Converter/Brake Switch B Circuit Low
Not sure if this was caused by pulling the fuse, but it didn't come back after I cleared the code (with the fuse still pulled). May have not given it enough time to come back...

Regardless, I have a good feeling about that brake switch. I am going to try it.

My 97 gave the same code with the brake fuse pulled, glad that helped you troubleshoot the issue. Hopefully the issue doesn't show up again
