Broke Truck
My F250 6.0L psd engine shut off while we were on the road and wont start now. Anyone had this problem and what was the solution. We have plenty of fuel pressure.
Forum Discussion
- Different truck.
Sorry for the snide comeback. But there have been so many reported issues with that motor it is any bodies guess how bad it is. Bad fuel, bad computer, head gasket blown.
The only way to know for sure is to have it towed to a Ford garage with a good diesel mechanic and let him have a go at it. While your at it, you might look at new trucks. - I'm no expert, but I'll say ficm is bad.
- Look at the voltage on the FICM (Fuel Injection Control Module) If that is good. Look to batteries and alternator.
Look here for more help.
Powerstroke forum - There are a number of issues that can cause that.... Bad FICM, high-pressure oil leak, bad HPOP, debris in the injectors due to an oil sump screen, broken wire in the engine harness, bad ICP sensor or solenoid, faulty oil pump...
You need to just go a dealer, or an independent shop with the proper 6.0 diagnostic equipment. If the shop starts suggesting swapping parts, tow it somewhere else. When the diagnostics is done the bad part is identified, be sure to ask about the cost of repairing any consequential damage (for example, a bad FICM can damage all of the injectors, which cost over $3,000 for the set) so you can decide up front if its worth fixing. - My '07 F350 6.0 suddenly shut down while towing the 5er on an interstate near OK City after having been running fine for about 3 hours. Engine would turn over strong, but would not restart. Had about 54,000 miles on it. Had it towed to Ford dealer. It was the cam sensor. Replaced under warranty. No other problems before or after that event.
- My dads 06 did that too. He had to coast to the side of the road and it wouldn't ever restart. Had it towed and they replaced the EGR valve. Modern vehicles are all so complicated though unfortunately it could be a million different things. Good luck

Especially the last sentence. How many miles do you have on it?
Best of luck- get yourself a $20 bluetooth obdII adapter (amazon or ebay), and download 'Torque' from the app store to your smart phone...
