On or about 6-26-06 we were getting off highway and make a turn right after. Coasted around corner and 1995 f-350 7.3 diesel truck died. Was not time to move off the road. Truck was toed to shop and was the camshaft sensor. I know recall doesn't cover 1995, but it should, be looked into, as there are plenty older 7.3 on the road.
