6.9 dies while driving

I was driving home from school when my truck completly stops running right by my driveway. I had enough momentum to coast into my driveway but now she wont start. After it sat awhile she started for a second then died again. Now only the starter starts but the truck won't run. Could this be a problem with injectors? I could use any help possible as this is my daily driver!!!

More information would be nice, did you check if you had fuel at your injectors while cranking? Did you check to see if there is fuel in the fuel filter?

Wonder if the Fuel Shut off solenoid took a poop? Since it randomly died like that.



How did it die exactly? started missfiring, sputtering etc, or just simply shut off, like if you had turn the key off?

It shut off like i turned the key. It turns out my injectors were clogged and one of them was not even getting any fuel. I replaced them all and fixed the broken fuel line. All has been running fine since Thanks for your help.
