engine stumbles or cuts out
The engine on my 2001 F350 diesel truck started cutting out when my intermittant wipers were on. When the wipers are on and the truck is idling, the engine dies. Also it sometimes dies or stumbles now when I'm driving at highway speeds and not using the wipers. Anyone else with similar problems or ideas for fixing it? I have already replaced windshield wiper motor and the complete wiper control unit on the column and there is no change.

With what you've described so far, it sounds like your CPS (Cam Position Sensor)
It's about a 10 - 20 Min (or 2 beer) fix, with a 10mm bolt.
Here is just one of our sponsors that has a replacement:
Garrett Shields
Pure Diesel Power
FTE Sponsor
715-498-0707 Call anytime!
www.puredieselpower.com
These might take a few days to get or ask if they will overnight - if you are really in a pinch
Here's the link to the Blue CPS ($105).

Here's the stock ($88):

Or...See if you can find and International dealer in your area. Tell them it's for a T444E in a 4700
Here's a article from our tech site on how to install:

Let us know if/when you change it and how is goes after.

I actually posted this message to a different section and they re-routed it here where I have another thread going just above. I was told to check the CPS (Cam Position Sensor). I have been reading other postings about the CPS and they sound so similar to my problem that I have ordered one tonight.

If you get a wild hair, you might check on ebay too. One guy here got two for the price of one, though I think both were stock replacements. It's always good to keep a spare CPS in your glove box along with a 10mm socket. It doesn't seem to matter how long you've had them, sooner or later, they will fail. Mine went out at 68K miles.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes.
