Shutting Off

I have a 96 F350 PSD. It has started shutting off at times. (No Pattern) When it does I can turn the ignitions off and back on and it will start back up. It may run the rest of the day or it may shut off again. Any and all advice welcome. Thanks Jim

Classic Cam sensor symptoms. Their only about 25 bucks and 10 minutes of your time.
