The truck runs for about 15 min then stops will not start again for a few minutes then process repeats.

try the fuel filter

SOURCE: trucks shuts off while driving

I have a 2000 dodge ram. I had the same problem the truck would just stall no matter how fast or slow i was going. It ended up being the crankshaft position sensor. You need to check for codes to find the problem. p0385-p0389 is the crank shaft sensor. It takes about 5 min. to change if thats the problem. On that year you might be able to turn the key to the on position but not starting then off, then on, then off, then on (three times) on the third time leave on and watch the odometer it will flash codes then will say p-done.

Had similar problem with 97 Plymouth Neon.  It turn out that the Crank Shaft Position Sensor was failing,  since I replaced it the car has been running smooth with no problems.

First thing you need to do is check (better to replace) your ignition wires, cap and rotor. Also make sure the coil is not arcing at the tower and that the spark plugs are in good condition.
As far as the choke, most of those have an electric pre-heater connected to them. Most work better if it's not connected (they tend to open the choke too fast). Adjust the choke only on a stone cold engine. It should be completely closed but not with a large amount of force. The vacuum pull-off should open the plate about one quarter inch (varies with what the engine likes) as soon as the engine starts.
Make sure that the accfelerator pump squirts when you move the throttle linkage. If it does not, it will be very difficult to get the engine started.
Never use bargain priced ignition components on an engine. They do not have a high dielectric rating and are very prone to bleed off and arcing even when they are just a little damp. Usually the brown and blue caps/rotors are best.

SOURCE: Car won't start when I

I had a similar problem where the battery was ok but there was no sound from the starter and also there no lights on in the dash when the key was turned. Checked the fuse and checked wire from the fuse back to the ignition switch. The wire from the fuse was ok in fuse box but had no voltage at the ignition sw. The was also no voltage to terminal 30 in the starter relay. Ran a new wire from the fuse to the ignition and it fixed everything. Check for voltage at terminal 30 on the starter relay
