On the morning of saturday march 22, 2008. My 2002 ford f350 super duty engine caught on fire while sitting in my driveway. It was sitting for roughly 10 hrs. When it started on fire. Vehicle is destroyed and did some damage to my house, but thankfully no one was hurt.
Camshsft position sensor (cps) failed on my ford f-350, 2002 model, 7.3 liter diesel engine. The failure occurred gradually, with six unintended engine shutdowns. Three shutdowns were at highway speeds, three while parked. Date is approximated; odometer reading approximately 60000 miles. I will update when I get home.
