Another dead truck thread
My truck just gave out and died on the highway the other day. I read these forums since I had it towed to a repair shop. I cannot figure out what it is. These boards point at the CAM Senser. The shop replaced it and still nothing. The truck completely "shut off" without warning.
Can someone please help this

It really sounds like the cam position sensor to me. Is the replacement a bad part? Did they test it on another vehicle? If it's an aftermarket part (not an International part) they are not as reliable or consistent.

there is on the powerstroke 7.3L the IDIs do not but not many come into a dealership for work seeing how old they are
i think the cam sensor is actualy recalled on the older 7.3 PSD i have changed a few at the dealer i work at under a campain same with the cruise brake jumper harness.
other then that with out actualy seeing the truck hard to diagnose. do you hear the fuel pump? dual tanks? try switch from the front and rear

yes, that would make perfect sense to be the crankshaft positioning sensor. Very neat

Ok, Truck is at the shop. Replaced Cam Sensor. Still nothing. Mechanic says it might be the Injector pump in the block? Also claims that the glow pug relay was replaced with a starter relay. (Bought truck from another person.)
I'm still confused as to why it isn't starting. Where else Should I be looking at?
