Rough Week

On monday my dads 03 6.0 died on him, it cranks but won't start. He has it in the shop and is looking at it but hes not sure whats wrong with it. Then last nite the 07 6.0 just shut off on him while he was going down interstate with the 5th wheel. He said TBC Fault came up the dash. Any ideas? Thanks, Chris Unger

tbc fault has nothing to do with that. it is probably the stc fitting on the back of the pump, or a cam sensor. i have been putting alot of cam sensors on lately on the new stuff.

well it turns out on the 07 that the fuel tank switch was broken and the truck didn't switch tanks. So it just ran out of fuel. As for the 03 well the high pressure oil pump went out and thats getting fixed right now.
