April 2001 Fire

Traveling south on hwy 78 in sachse, tx my engine stalled at cruising speed if 45 MPH. I lost all power steering and braking control on my 2000 f250 diesel. I partially got my truck into a turn lane, and after 5 minutes of repeated cranking the truck started again only to stall out 15 seconds later. The date below is approximate, but can be verified as the part was changed under warranty, and explained as normal by my dealership.

Reported at 40,000 miles, August 2003
