Question Truck just quit

I have a 2001 F250 SD 7.3, was driving to work today I slowed down to make a turn and the engine quit. I coasted to a stop on the road. The truck cranked right up, and I didn't have any more problems coming home. Has anyone had this happen and did it lead to anything else ? Your expertease is needed.....

sounds to me like a CPS problem. try searching for camshaft position sensor, youll find a lot of reading.

I think I'll try that tomorrow. I have read that I need the Blue one from International part #DT-466, Is this correct

Yeah, get the Blue one. You'll want to order by part number though, not by what engine it goes to. There have been some confused IH dealers who have given the wrong CPS out. Search for the thread "IH Blue CPS" and you'll find the part number in there.

ya my first guess would be camshaft poistion sensor. My went out at about 80k. I was on the freeway when the truck just turned off and i had to have it towed to a dealer. I was told they go out about every 75k to 80k. I just put a new one on my truck because i don't want to have it quit on me again. i have 165k on my truck now.
