 I have a 2001 ford f250, the windshield leaked causing the gem module to mal-function. this is a problem in alot of ford vehicles,not just mine. the short causes the truck to miss, stall, a lot of electrical problems result. *tr

 I have a 2001 f250 7.3 diesel that has stalled or died usually at low speeds while trying to stop or turn a corner. resulting in a loss of power steering and power brakes. the check engine light has never come on. i have taken it to a mechanic and was told if the check engine light was not on he could not check for a trouble code. he also said it most likely is a camshaft position sensor. i checked with ford,they want over $500.00 to replace it. the truck is now out of warranty and i don't want to spend $500.00 and that not fix the problem. *nm

 I was driving on the highway when suddenly lost power to my truck. fortunately i was not on a long trip with my wife and kids hauling a load. i tried to contact a dealer and was told they were unable to see me after several weeks and some calls i was able to locate one to look at my truck. after i gave my approval to repair the engine the result was $13.23 in parts and $779.12 in labor. apparently a wire harness that runs under the valve covers simply came un plugged. the dealer told me this only happens to my type of vehicle and a stand off bracket needed to be put in place. i asked why this wasn't a recall item and the lady at the counter said i should call the manufacturer. *nm
