Problem solved for me after cleaning up these grounds!  Good luck guys.  Also dont forget to clean both the stud and the terminals!!  Access the stud through the speaker opening on both sides of dash.

I also had the problem with the dirty ground connections under the dash but cleaning them didn't resolve my issue.  ASlthough it might have prevented a later one so thanks!  What I found to be the problem in my truck with a now 3 weeks clean bill of health was a bad grounf connection behind the right front wheel well.  Save yourself some money and maybe your life by cleaning up this connection.  the factory connected this ground over paint and undercoating thus rendering it useless.  My daily issues have been gone since cleaned three weeks ago, simple fix.  Good luck

I did the dash ground fix but that didn't solve the issue for me. Its most likely the body ground posted above.

What i did was i bought a 5ft section of battery cable with the crimped ends from Auto Zone and ran that from the negative battery terminal across the firewall to the ground screw next to the brake booster.

This basically gives you another body ground and the issue hasn't reoccurred in well over 6 months and counting.

Clean the body ground and put another ground like i did to be sure. 

My truck once shut off on the highway evening traffic going 60 with my 2yr old in the back. That was not fun trying to coast to the side with no steering or power or tail and headlights!! Got lucky

Ozer or Starshine any other issues with this fix of ground wire?  Having same issues and did this just wondering if still no problems before I trade truck in for stopping while driving on highway.

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
