NewB here with problem

I have a bone stock 01 F-250 PSD CC with 55K miles. Only aftermarket change is tires. My problem is my truck stalls out. I can be driving and it will either stall for a split second and run again (because it's in gear I figure it jumps itself) or just plain quits. If it quits, it sometimes takes a little cranking to get her started again or it can fire right up. Usually it just looses all power for a split second and will be fine for the rest of the drive. For some reason it just happens under acceleration or under load as when I drive home from work it's all down hill for 35 or so miles and it runs just fine. Anybody have this problem before or know what it might be? Thanks for any help!!!

Most likely it's a CPS sensor, located to the side of the flywheel, about $120 from an International dealer or around $200+ from a Ford dealer. Seems to cure just about any stalling problem. If you do a search on this site for stallling you will have plenty to read for awhile. More will chime in, just wait! Welcome to FTE

Yep, sounds like the ol CPS problem.....one of the few you will ever encounter. The 7.3 is pretty reliable overall. I have seen them for around $40 .

Have you changed your fuel filter recently, I have also noticed the same types of problems with a clogged fuel filter, might try that first!

In fact I just changed it about 2 weeks ago with no difference. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Where'd you find em that cheap? The best I've found is $70+ on ebay. I'd sure like to pick up a couple extras for that price.

BTW it's located above the crank pulley, not the flywheel.
