Another head scratcher.........

I have another very odd problem with my 2003 F250 7.3 PS with 206000 miles on it.
I am in Florida visiting my parents and every time I go thru this certain area my truck will act up. The first thing that happens is the truck starts losing power and then it starts bucking like water in the fuel or the cam position sensor is giving out.
WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR:
I have drained the fuel filter assembly ( no water ) and a new cam position sensor has been installed (about 5000 miles ago, I even put old one back it to check it out same results). I have driven the truck all over the place and don't have an issue except in this ONE spot. I am beginning to think there is some kind of high powered RF going on in this area causing my truck to act up. I am thinking of hooking up my autoenginuity scanner up to it and hopefully see something going on.
Has anyone heard of such a thing and is there anything I can do to block this out if it is a RF problem. I think it is effecting my Pcm/ECM for then engine causing the truck to act up.

Do you fill up in the same spot around that area? Maybe the station has a problem with their fuel tanks?

At first I thought your truck had the anti-in-laws option, but I see now it is _your_ parents in that area....

It probably is a RF signal causing your problems. Some aftermarket icp sensors are affected by RF due to poor filtering. The oem sensors don't have this problem.

There is no way to avoid driving thru this area, no it is not around a navy base, just a public city road, and there is no after market icp sensors or other after market engine/operating parts

It is not a fuel issue since it runs perfect around town and running 80 on the interstate. it only acts up in that same spot on that one part of road.
