By cyclical with headlights do you mean regular intervals?

Ah, yeah... it definitely isn't that. The cyclical dimming of the lights was definitely at regular intervals. I know the harness in the back is all good. Mine is routed through my LFD Off Road Rear Bumper, and I ensure it was all tucked away and secured when I did that.

I did go through last night and make sure that all the bolts holding on battery/alternator wiring was nice and tight. I still have the dimming, but I haven't had the issue with the brakes again. So, here's to hoping I can hold out on the alternator until I can upgrade to 270XP.

The past 5 months the trucks stereo has been rebooting every couple of weeks (stereo was replaced last Nov for the same issue). Along with the display between the tach and speedo. Now the engine started to shut off.

Engine has shut off 5 times. 3 times leaving my house / work and 2 times while driving on the street traveling around 45 mpg.

The engine shuts off and I lose all power and I just coast to a stop.Once at a stop I put the truck in park and restart it.

Ive taking to the dealer 4 times and they cannot find anything wrong (no codes / check engine light)

Im at a lost....not sure what to do at this time.

Hi. I have a 2015 SR5 4x4 and I am having this exact same issue. Any updates as to what it was? Any help is greatly appreciated.
