2002 F-250 stops running

My f-250 has been in shop three times for same problem. Truck just stops running for anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes. Injectors have been replaced. Does anyone else have this same problem? Thanks for the help.

Could be a lot of things - begin with a diagnostic test. Could be the CPS....

Sorry, It has a diesel engine. Regular factory maintanence. I just have 52,000 miles. It has always started with the engine being a bit sluggish. It feels like it does not have the same amount of power, if that makes sense. The first couple of times it almost stopped running but never did. A few days later I was going about 40mph and the lights on dash came on and it had no power. I let it rest for about 10 minutes and finally started. Happened several times before tow truck got there. Last two times, lights on dash came on, lost power however never completely. 10-15 seconds with no power steering or ability to use gas, truck starts running on its own. Dealer has replaced cylinders, removed injector. Problem is very random. Never had any other problems with my truck. Thanks for your help!!
