Default '00 Dying while on the highway

Hey all, OSS here;

I took my truck on a 560KM trip on Friday, and the truck died on me 10 mins from my house at a stop light, then again while going 110km/hr and a handful more times on this trip. No codes present. On Sunday I continued my journey another 500KM's and it died twice only when comming into a service station...changed the fuel filter today (black fuel comming out of it, yuck!) but again, it died once when I was up to city speed limits. What the hell? Still, no codes.

-OSS

Is just the engine cutting out, what about the lights and gauges?

Yes, it's just the engine that looses power and stalls out.

I would start with a fuel pressure and leakdown test. When was the last time it had a tune up? Have you tried to clean the maf sensor snd egr valve?
