| I have a 1996 ford f250 7.3 liter diesel truck. it stalls on occasion at low speeds which i feel is a safety issue. i found out that ford had a recall on 1997 and newer trucks because of the cam position sensor. everything i could find out about my problem is the same. the cps unit causes this problem. i feel ford should replace my cps unit as well. *tr | |||

| My 1996 f250 with a 7.3 liter powerstroke . was hunting for months , i attributed this to fuel , but then it stalled on my wife . followed by stalling on me then had to have it towed home . the problem , cps camshaft position sensor. i had heard about this before with other trucks most times leading to an accident. i was lucky but not happy you should recall these vehicles at fords expense fix the problem forever and reimburse any out of pocket expenses. *tr | |||
