stalling problems

I have a 99 f350 with a 7.3 diesel with about 235000. It runs fine for about 5 miles or so then acts like it is running out of fuel and then finally stalls. If i let it sit for a short time it will start and run again for a mile or so. I have changed fuel filter, fuel pump, camshaft sensor, air cleaner, and high pressure oil sensor. Can some one please help me?

Welcome to FTE.

How much fuel do you have in your tank?

Do you have a way to get the codes read?

Could be a chaffed wire on the harness going to the valve covers. Could also be the UVCH. The codes will be more helpfull.

Just so you are not doing nothing about this. Jump up on the engine and take that connection off the drivers valve cover with a 10mm socket. Look under the wires to see if any are chaffed from rubbing on the VC.

UVCH = Under Valve Cover Harness

Where do you live?
