Breakdown checklist
I have done some searching and haven't found anything like this. Has anyone put together a list of things to check if your 7.3 dies on the road (such as on a vacation, far from home)?
I'm thinking the list would include like checking for fuel in the bowl, oil in the HPOP tank, checking wiring, checking certain fuses, swapping relays, etc. - all the things you'd do if you had perhaps limited tools and no one to call. I know a few of these things, but a good solid list you could print and stick in your glovebox would be really handy.
thanks - Steve

Kinda hard to pick things to say without really sitting down and writing down symptoms first and what to start checking for each of those symptoms. Could get really huge really fast. If it just flat dies while running, the first thing to check is always the CPS.
