Fuel shutoff

Yesterday I pulled up to shool to let one of the kids out. As he was getting out, the truck died and wouldn't restart. I reset the fuel cutoff switch cycled the key a few times and it started right up. It was running fine before this and seems to be running fine since then. I've been driving a Diesel for the past 10 years 7.3, 6.0 6.4 and have never had this happen. Is it just a fluke or a sign of something?

Just a fluke. An overly sensitive switch.

I would call my dealer and let them know. They might want to change switch. Have filters been changed lately, if not I would change. Anyone know if switch is amp draw related?

In case this happens to me in the future, where is the fuel cut-off switch and how do you reset it. Thanks.

Passenger side, side of the dash as you open the front door. There is a little door there. Open the door and it is right there.
