I have a 2002 F350 with the 7.3 diesel. I have had this truck since it had 30K miles on it and it now had 90K miles. It has been trouble free minus new pads and batteries. I recently changed the fuel filter and used a Donaldson filter. In the last week while driving the truck just mysteriously shuts off when I slow down for a stop sign. The only lights on the dash is the red battery light, and it fires right back up. I believe it has the original CPS in it as I have never changed it. Do you think this is the CPS going out or something else? I was wondering if the Donaldson fuel filter has anything to do with it?

 

Without a way to read data or get a code read from it it is just guessing which can get expensive in a hurry. Did you bleed the air out of the fuel system after the filter change?

 

Sounds CPS like to me. Not that expensive to purchase nor difficult to install.

 

CPS is cheap and easy first try. If that doesn't work,may want to check fuel pressure.

 

I did manage to get an appointment for the CPS. Apparently the recall was never done. In looking at other people that posted the same problem, mine is acting up when I am approaching a stop sign, and slow down between 20-30 mph with the foot off the gas. I really don't even know it shut off until the steering gets hard and then put in neutral and restart. It has done this about 6 times in the last week, and usually around me slowing for a stop sign.

 

New CPS fixed the issue!
