Baffled

I have an 03 F-250 with the 6.0 powerstroke. Recently once the truck warms up to about 190* and going down the road the truck just dies. It throws no odb2 codes and the monitor gages show nothing odd happening before it happens. It holds plenty of hpop when it stalls. Sometimes if you pump the gas pedal and accelerates when it starts shaking you can keep it going for a few but then the transmission doesn't shift right and runs hard. All I have for diagnostic equipment is torque. Once it starts doing this it happens only a few miles down the road and is deffinetly tied to temperature. No tuner, new oil cooler, alternator, batteries, starter, hpop, referbished FICM, and turbo. EGR delete.

Any help before I pull whatever hair I have left out would be appreciated.

Easiest way to rule out the FICM - as what you describe could be a logic board issue - is to drop your FICM into another truck and see if the issue moves with it.

Fuel pressure when it dies or is the fuel bowl full? ICPV and IPR when goes? Restarts right away, starts an hour or two later?

It will restart right away but won't drive more than a few miles before it start acting up again. If it sits and cools off it will go further. Will go further in the colder weather too vs the 60* we had today. Icp holds but drops when truck is shut off.

I also forgot it has a new IPR and ICO sensor this summer. I do have a log of all the sensors torque monitors from when it happened once in a CSV file.

Other than putting it in another truck is there a good way to test the logic board on a bench? Im not half bad with electronics.

Sounds like fuel issues to me. Next time this happens. Before turning the key, remove the fuel bowl cap and see what you have for fuel in the bowl. Have you recently done filters?

Is your new HPOP an OEM?

can you have someone monitor your ICP pressure and IPR % duty cycle when it dies? Looking to see if the pressure and % duty cycle start to fluctuate before it dies.

If so, I would probably suggest you pull the IPR and look for trash.

Also, you probably do have codes, just that the Torque probably isn't picking them up. Might try pulling codes w/ a scan tool from an autoparts store.

ICP and IPR remain constant and only appear to drop after it cuts out. IPR and IcP Re new with in the last 6 months. Info have a torque CSV file for all's sensors monitored I could email.

Yes all parts above listed as new are OEM. FICM is an international referbished.

Bad bad batteries are my go to check for head scratchers. These trucks turn into poltergeist with a bad battery!

Totally agree w/ Bumblebee on the batteries being tested properly before beginning troubleshooting. If you haven't already, make sure all battery connections (including grounds) are good.

IPR could be fine (new isn't necessarily significant), but have trash on/in it (hard to keep system clean when you tear into it). Sometimes it takes awhile for contaminants to cause problems.

I agree with checking battery connections. Easy, fast cheap. My son's 6.0 was acting strangely. Stalling, then restarting, misfires, no power. We chased sensors and inputs but eventually landed on battery connections. Removed, cleaned, reinstalled. No problems since that time.

Everyone should remember that just because a set of batteries is new and only a few months old, does not preclude them from having been damaged, from not working right, or as others are mentioning or even from having bad connections. Id say if seasoned members are suggesting the connections to the batteries as well as the batteries be checked, I would check them. It will eliminate them from the list of possible culprits and makes the list of possibilities smaller.
