I made three short runs in a row one evening, short like a couple of blocks and back to the house and on the third one truck almost didn’t start like the battery was dead. I went ahead and went down the road but the whole trip the anti theft light stayed on. When I got home I put the charger on the battery for the night and parked it in case I had to jump it. Surprisingly it fired right up with no issues but I went ahead and replaced the battery since the one in it was a Delco and I couldn’t find any indication of how old it was. Only had the truck for three months so wanted to play it safe. No more issues until it randomly died pulling away from the gas pump on Saturday. Very very little faith in this thing after the issues so far after only three months, bought it used yes but low miles and expected more I guess.

Same thing happened to me after fueling up on Saturday. Went three feet engine died, radio went to AM station, blower motor cycled around, steering wheel jerked all around even though I was going straight. Turned the key off and restarted and all has been well. No lights or messages either. I read similar threads reads here and there about battery grounds being loose. Plan on following cables from the battery and checking all connections at the next opportunity.
