2004 6.0 NV4500 Tahoe

Had a cool new feature pop up in the Tahoe today. I was driving and suddenly the motor shut off and would not start back. It was either cutting fuel or spark. I pulled over and checked codes, it had none, so I tried starting it again and off it went like nothing ever happened.

Ignition switch or its wiring going bad? With the trans conversion, it could be any related wiring or connections at fault.

Take your collection of old fishing weights off your key ring, it’s making your ignition switch fail.

You really think that’s it? Hit 285k as well.

Still original ignition switch? I replaced mine at 170k just because. I figured it would fail at a bad time. Like there’s a good time for your ignition switch to fail. But if you have a lot of keys on the key ring, that’s been known to cause issues also, especially with GM ignition switches or don’t you remember.

I have a considerable amount of crap on my keys so I wouldn’t be surprised but I was honestly thinking it was a cam or crank sensor issue again. Hadn’t really ever seen someone have an ignition switch issue.

Did fine today when the Safelite guy told me he couldn’t replace the windshield in the ranger because the glue was harder than a ministers cac. Threw the ranger on the trailer and hauled it across green mountain to their shop. If I get that rearend from @randeez I might put 3.73s in it with a trutrac. The 3.42s are good but a tiny bit more gear would help this thing in 3rd gear trying to climb with a load at 35mph. Could down shift but seconds kinda too low to hold for a long period of time.

@randeez wouldn't offer his reared to just anyone so you better take it....and be easy on it.
