Help!!! '99 F250 Keeps Dying

I have a 1999 F250 SD 7.3L diesel 4x4 Crew Cab with a banks tuner. The banks system has been on for about 18 months with no problems but yesterday while driving the engine died on me on two separate occasions then three times today. There is absolutely no warning, stalling, sputtering, etc. It just completely dies then immediately restarts which leads me to believe it's something in the computer/electrical. Any suggestions?

Sounds like a dying CPS, did the tach drop like you turned the key off when this happened

Yes, the tach just completely dropped with no prior flucuation or warning.

Classic CPS Failure it will run you about 280 from the staeler but it is a 15 minute fix and can be had for 50 - 60 bucks off ebay

The fix: http://guzzle.rbmicro.com/cps.html
