One person that looked at it said it seems to be getting too hot, and suggested we Google search to see what the problem might be.
What was the original problem that caused you to replace the battery, alternator and relay ? Had the vehicle been jumped and possibly had the cables crossed ? Was it over or under charging before replacing above parts ?
Testimonial: "Hi Robert. Thanks for your response. We actually replaced the alternator and the battery a year prior to this recent problem when we recently replaced the relay. Prior to replacing the relay, the car had to be towed home. It would not take a jump. When we replaced the relay, it started right up, but after running for a few minutes, it died and would not start up again right away."
Ignition module/coil could be getting hot and weakening, exhaust/cat may be blocked/restricted, may be an intermittent wiring or connection issue from heat or vibration.
Which engine is in it ?
Hi Robert : the truck has the 4 cylinder engine.
This truck dies have an exhaust flange leak now that you mention it. I had forgotten about that issue.

Did you check the charging circuit fuse ?
And when you say not start again do you mean the engine will not turn over at all ?
Hi Robert. No we did not check that fuse. Thanks ! And I will have to double check with my husband whether the car will turn over or not. It is his work truck; I don't drive it. Thanks again for your help.
Hi Robert :
My husband said The truck will try to turn over but doesn't catch and loses power.
Hi Robert: My husband said the truck will stall and then turn over, but will not catch and start it seems to lose power.
When it does not want to fire up can you check for spark at the plugs ?
Also, when it does not want to run, while attempting to crank it up watch the tachometer and see if it moves any. May be a hot crank sensor acting up. I am looking up a wiring diagram now.
If charging voltage drops below 9.9 volts the injectors will cut off. Also, the speed sensor in the instrument cluster can go bad and cause stalling.
