Excursion dies upon abrupt stop.
My V10 X dies sometimes upon an abrupt stop, or right after shifting into reverse. It doesn't do it every time, but a couple of times a day. It doesn't die when slowly decelerating up to a stop light...

After going around and around with BluDriver, I was finally able to run a full system scan. It shows a U1262 code. I'm guessing chafed wire coming off the engine. It stalls when first put in reverse and abrupt stop.
Hmm..
U1262 appears to be instrument cluster communications error..
according to HERE
See post #6 of the link above.. But keep in mind that thread is about a 7.3 with "died/ no start" issue so the U1262 you are seeing could be bogus error.. Although I vaguely remember seeing some posts at one time with gauge clusters failing causing a variety of issues but I can't recall if YOUR symptoms was one of the known for that issue..
Personally, go get a REAL code scanner, they are not all that expensive now days and instead of giving cryptic codes that you need to lookup they will TELL you what the code means.
Believe it or not, Harbor Freight really shines on this with several scanners for about $100 on sale and with a 20% off coupon you get it for about $80..
THE BEST $80 I have ever spent, so far has saved me nearly $1000 in DEALER repairs on ONE vehicle.
Perhaps post your vehicle YEAR, it would REALLY help in pinpointing the known easy fixes..
