this truck will quit running (die) (wont start back) if you are driving it and it starts raining outside. Something gets wet underneath it and the thing just quits. Put it on a computer and it shows nothing. Put new starter, battery, went over all the wires I could think of and still nothing.

Would be better to know the year of the truck and the fuel. I would suspect something to to with a ground on the ECM or another ground. Would suggest checking all ground wires you can find and clean contact to chassis with small wire brush or similar. If gasoline with distributor, the distributer cap could have moisture on the inside.

A simple way to check your plug wires would be to wait until night time, start the truck without any lights on, let your eyes adjust and you'll see your plug wires doing a light show like you've never seen before. Replacing the distributor cap and rotor (if equipped) and plug wires should do the trick.

Its a Ford!! Just joking!!! Probably the ignition wires or the distributor cap could also be cracked and allowing moisture to get inside, but it has to be quite abit of water-usually it will just run rough or cut out. I'd change the cap and rotor and inspect or replace your spark plug wires.

I use to have a ford escort that did that. It was the distributor cap. Funny thing though when i replaced the old one, the new one did the same thing. So I kept spares in the trunk. Never did find the cause for the caps to always go bad.

It could be spark plug wires. The distributor cap may have some small cracks and if the cap is non ventilated it will collect a mist inside it.

nicely sounds like 2 distinctive themes with a uncomplicated denominator. What the two might have in uncomplicated is the ignition swap. i'm conversing with regards to the electrical powered section no longer the main tumbler. even though, first examine your fuses, and did you hit a tricky bump? in case you probably did examine gasoline decrease-off swap, refer vendors handbook for area. Assuming that the truck has a gas engine. you say all lights are working, yet once you attempt to crank the engine do the lights go very dim or out thoroughly? if so, the battery would have internally shorted and actually have a foul cellular, or the alternator no longer charging the battery and the battery is now drained of all of its voltage. particularly of few issues to envision, initiate with the least confusing and the main inexpensive, fuses, battery, gasoline decrease-off swap, ignition swap

There is a main engine wiring harness that runs the driver side....it has a plastic flex loom over the wire bunch....if it is opened in anyway, even spray will accumulate and cause a short...compressed air into this harness will dry it out....the truck should start...
Retape the harness and see if that helps.
Secondly the dist cap and rotor....
