Help!
So I am driving my truck and BAM it dies. I have been having some issues with my battery and such. What would cause the truck to just suddenly die? I am really just wanting to get this truck running so I can drive it! Help me out please! I have been getting 14.3 volts at the battery while it runs and right around 12 volts when its off. Any thoughts?

Bought a new battery and BAM! Its good to go. I took it in a got it tested elsewhere and they said it was bad. Now I have 13.86 volts after running and 14.4 volts while running.
HOWEVER......now I think I have a fuel issue. How do you diagnose a fuel issue. Basically when I get on an incline my truck will die. I had to roll it back down the hill and it takes a few minutes to get started back up. I am going to get a new filter and replace that and maybe the fuel pump. What do you guys think?
