ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL
I WAS DRIVING MY 2003 F-350 SRW 6.0L PSD FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES AFTER STARTING WHEN I STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND 45MPH WHEN THE TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF AND DUE TO NO POWER STEERING I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ALSO THE TEMP AT THE TIME WAS AROUND 20 DEGREES F. AFTER MANY ATTEMPS TO RESTART THE ENGINE I WAS HELPED TO PUSH THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT SAT FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES AND AFTER A FINAL ATTEMPT IT STARTED AS NORMAL AND HAS BEEN RUNNING FINE SINCE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THINKING THAT IT MAY STALL AGAIN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND CAUSE A CRASH.*AK
