Q: Truck keeps shutting off - 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
My truck cannot keep running. It shuts off soon after it is started up. It starts cranking and running very briefly and shuts off, as if it's not getting fuel. About ten months ago, I had the fuel pump replaced. The fuel lines between the engine and tank are replaced as well. The fuel filter is new. What else could I replace to fix this?
