I have a 2001 GMC 2500HD. While driving down the road the battery light will come on for about 2 seconds and the truck will act like it is going to die but doesnt. A couple of times it did die and I put it in neutral to restart it. Yesterday it didnt want to start so I put it in neutral and it did. Any suggestions?

It sounds like your alternator might be starting to go bad and the Battery Light is coming on because it is not charging the battery correctly. Have your Alternator checked with a volt meter, it should be reading 13 to 14 volts if working correctly. If not, replace your alternator.

I have a 01 GMC 2500hd with the 8.1 Gas. The truck keeps dying after driving about 4 or 5 miles down the road, I can pull over and the truck turns over for a min but then restarts and does fine the rest of...

I had the same exact problem on my pickup. Same year and motor. I replaced the crankshaft position sensor and the problem has never happened again. This sensor is located on the drivers side of the engine near the bell housing. It's a bit hard to get it out. You may have to break it in order to remove it. Be careful with the new one going in. Good luck and I hope this helps!
