Unhappy Help

I really could use some help here. I started my truck at work to go home. She ran for about 3 to 5 minites then quit like I had turned off the key. When I turn her over the tach dosnt work and there is no smoke. I think its the cam position sensor but Im not sure. I would sure like some advice. 2000 F250 extended cab 4x4 7.3

Could be....
Also check under the hood fuse panel for blown (I think) #2 Maxi Fuse. If that's the case the fuel heater shorted out and you need to unplug it, then replace the fuse. That should get you going.

It's under the hood on the dirver's side fender well. Check your owner's manual for fuse location.

I had her towed to a mechanic. He looked at the codes and replaced the cam position sensor. She's up and running again. I spent a little more money than I would have if I did it my self but the truck was only down for a day and she dosnt make any money sitting.
