Do you mean CEL (check engine light)?
This could be any one number of things... We'll need more than "the truck died" to help diagnose what's going on. If the CEL came on you'll need to pull codes from the computer. A Equus 3145 will read the codes for you instead of the old "counting flashes." And they are only like $20-$30 at O'Reillys or Amazon.com

Sounds like you have a bad CPS sensor on the front of the engine.
Replace it with an International Truck, part number 1876735C91.
Much cheaper than if you buy the same item from Ford.
A Equus 3145 will NOT read the codes on your engine.

my bad... my brain read 1995(obdI) when the post read 1997(obdII)...
The 3145 won't read 1996 and 1997 model year fords.
In which case you should use a Autel MaxiScan MS300... Same price(ish).

really??? so the OBDI ran until 97 if it was gas? I read my Equus directions and it said that it only worked for trucks until 1995... So I figured 96/97 had ODBII if it was a gasser. I guess I always assumed that the diesels used the same OBDI and OBDII systems the gassers used... What reader/system do the diesels use then? (always good to add to my knowledge so I don't make the same mistake twice)
