2008 F350 quit running!
We'd just filled up with diesel and were cruising along I-10 on the way to Las Cruces, NM when the truck died. No warning, no noises, anything. Just quit running. We're going to have it towed to the local Ford dealer in the morning but I was wondering whether anyone had any thoughts as to what might be the problem? All the lights, blinkers, etc work so it doesn't appear to be the battery or alternator.

Thanks!

Possible EGR related or EGT sensor.

Keep your reciept from last fillup. I might just be water in the fuel...but I would think you would see some white smoke or something first.
