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.

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 Ford expense fix the problem forever and reimburse any out of pocket expenses.

1996 F250 4X4 diesel automatic. I started up from a traffic light and the truck shut off, like a key shut down. It would turn over but not light off, both fuel tanks full and pressurized fuel was pumping through filter drain while cranking. 4 guys helped push me out of the 4 lane road. This is the 2nd cps in 3 years. August 2003 it failed in savannah, ga and I was towed again to the international truck shop. They taught me about the cps problem in Ford.
