F350 Possible Electrical Problem? Please Help
Hey everyone, new to the site but I have a 2002 f350 super duty XLT, 5.0 engine that will stall out when I put the truck into drive and reverse. The same thing occurs too when I turn on the headlights, however, turning the interior lights on, along with the radio and heat vents on high, the truck does not stall. Originally, I had error codes for the mass air flow and something else and when I spoke to Friendly Ford to find out where the MAS was, they told me it was way under the manifold and so I had to take apart the whole manifold to realize where it's true location is. After I put everything back together...correctly the engine runs again and sounds a lot better, but I'm bamboozled as to why why it just keeps stalls when I put it into drive and or reverse. I think it may be caused by electrical something by having a heavy load on by changing into gears but I don't know. If anyone could offer me any advice, I'd really appreciate it.

I don't think they put a 5 liter in the 2002 either. 2002 Ford F-350 Specifications, Details, and Data | Autobytel.com
That said, it does sound like an electrical issue. A guess, and only a guess, it has something to do with the sensor for the shift lever. Post your question in the Super Duty/Heavy Duty section. Those guys will be more than happy to help you out.

You don’t mention it, but the first step I would do is check your transmission fluid level.
Second step is make sure that you have a good, fully charged battery. Stick a new one in from another vehicle if possible.
Those are two simple things to at least check and rule out.
