Stranded in winslow az
The white beast has failed us! We are hauling a horse from reno to texas . Going just fine for15 hrs. Then we lost power and it sounds lile it is hitting on 4 cylinders . We limped in to a rest area. We had code p 0236 but i think that is from the engine brake. I reset that then we had. Code1111 i could not find what that one is. We have oil. It is not. Cold enough to jell . We spent the night in the rest area. Now the truck wont start. We changed the cps no luck. Help please. What could this be? Thank so much. J

If you were closer I'd drive out to help (not sure how much help I would be). Have you checked the basics? Do you have fuel in the fuel bowl? Is there water in the fuel? You might try to get some fresh diesel and drain and re-fill the bowl... Might have gotten a bad tank.

Ok well we got the truck towed to the dealer here in town found a super nice guy who picked up our horse trailer and brought our horse out to his place with corrals... So here is what the dealership thinks is wrong
They found the fuel filter was clogged... May be form bad fuel.. Which starved the passenger side. Injectors. So they said we have several bad injectors..
So I want to know why we were running along just fine the it cut out all at once.. Why did we not get a warning light before. Burned up injectors.
Why did this only seem to affect the one side? What could we have done to prevent this.. Te fuel filter was not all that old.
This is going to be spendy!
Thanks for al your help... I hope we can be back on the road soon...
This is a bummer.. I have never had a 7.3 let me down like this!

Have you visually inspected the wiring harnesses for burnt pins?? I'd be under that hood looking for sure before you let them replace injectors at their prices. You're gonna get bent over there. I'm betting its not the injectors. Wiring or IDM.
No codes from any injectors..No codes at all point to wiring imo.
