The Damn thing QUIT
So I just got it back form the shop last week ( 06, 6.0 Surge Problem), So Im driving down the road minding my own buisness,I speed up from 45 to 55 and nothing, I pushed on the go pedal and nothing, no smoke, no power nothing, I rolled into a parking lot and the damn thing shut off, It would not retsart for about 10 min. then it ran like crap shaking and vibrating so I shut her down, and call for a tow, 3 hours in 101 degree weather a roll back showed up.
Ford has told me no loan a car? Anyone else been rejected on a loan a car when your under full warrenty? So now its monday and they havent call to tell me whats up with it,
I m not kidding, no warning lights, not hot, nothing was wrong with it, just up and died
Before you ask yes it had half a tank, and the fuel filter is 2 weeks old.
Any thoughts.

Weak fuel pump or clogged fuel filters can cause major injector damage especially if your fuel pressure continuously falls below 40 psi.

I just got it back from the dealer, Seems they let it idle for 3 hours and it never missed a beat drove it around the parking lot perfect alday, they called to ask if the tech could drive it home so he could road test it, I said sure! the tech never made it home, he spent 1.5 hours on the side of I-10 waiting on the roll back.LOL
It's the fuel pump,they tell me there is a valve on the pump, one line goes to the engine,and another cycles the fuel back into the tank,this is to keep the fuel warm and not let it freeze ( I live in florida, an option I really didnt need) this in lies the problem seemed the valve was re-cycling more fuel than it was sending to the engine, when the computer sinced a drop in pressure it shuts the truck down.!
they replaced the pump and valve, teched the tank for trash and it seemes fixed (fingers cross)
