7.3L died at Mcdonalds

[Donkey206]

I was at the drive up window and my truck just stoped. It has always drove just fine. It says it has a 1/4 tank, and my check gauge and battery light is on. This is my work truck so I am losing money every day it sits, please help me.

not sure haha. heres a bump for ya tho.

I think somethings trying to tell ya to stop going to Mc D's!! haha. I hate going there.

When you crank it does the tach move? Possible CPS?

[Donkey206]

the tach doesnt move at all. Would a CPS make the truck just stop running like that?

[Super Kaz]

They have been know to just stop working with no warning. What year is it?

[Donkey206]

It is a 2001

[Super Kaz]

have you had the recall done?

[Donkey206]

No, would that show me more options?

I'm not 100% sure its your CPS, but it sounds like it. Its a $30 part, takes a 10mm wrench to change, and about 5 minutes to do... They have been known to fail at anytime, anywhere, and if you don't carry a spare can leave you stranded. Even if its more serious than a CPS your not out much for replacing it. Good luck!

[somebodyelse5]

you can get it done at the stealership for free. But they "NEED THE TRUCK ALL DAY" so take everything that can play with out. It dhould only take a few minutes. They foudn $3K worth of stuff "that HAS to be replaced" I hate those a$$h0l3s.
