My co-worker has a early 99 F350 6spd that is bone stock with the exception of a straightpipe.
Yesterday morning he was on his way to work and the truck just cut off like he turned the key off. I made some calls to friends who are more knowledgeable about PSD's than me and he replaced the cam sensor without any result.
It ended up being fuse #30 a 30amp mini fuse under the steering column in the cab. He replaced it with a 20amp because its all he had with him and it got him home and to work today. When he went to leave this afternoon the truck died at the top of the hill are drive has leaving, but restarted as soon as he hit the key but with a check engine light.
We drove over to the local auto zone for there free scan tool use and he said it was low on power and surging the who way over there. The scan tool didn't see any codes in the truck, and we replaced the 20A fuse with a correct 30A. He left to go home and only made it a couple of miles up the road before it began surging and acting up again. I suggested he unplug the water sensor on the fuel filter housing just to see if it would help, and it didnt he said it didn't even make it across the parking lot after that.
I'm lost guys? I'm at the limit's of my PSD knowledge. I have a local reputable PSD mechanic who says its most likely a IDM, but can't look at it until this weekend. Any ideas?
