Just fueled up my "02 F-350 7.3L, and went about 1 1/2 miles and it just DIED. Couldnt restart, had to have it towed (that
nks to the truck camper on the back it cost some bucks!). ANyone have any ideas where to start?

 

Fuel pump fuse? Clogged fuel filter or CPS? Cheap things to check first.

 

Get a fuel sample ASAP. Smell for gas, or put a little in a styrofoam cup(gas will eat through it). Make sure you don't lose the receipt in case it is contaminated fuel.

 

Moved to the 1999 - 2003 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel forum.

 

1st off, welcome to the7.3 side of FTE. Glad your here. We can and will get you running again. Its quite possible that one of our "Brothers" is close to you and would be willing to come by and help.
?1 will it crank?
?2 do you get any smoke when it cranks over?
?3 Physically check all the fuses. the 30 amp fuse for the PCM also controls the heating element for the fuel heater. if you find a blown fuse, unplug the fuel heater(in the fuel filter housing) and replace fuse. that will get you running again.
post back and let us know
