Last 4 days I have had two problems with my truck. After strating I had gone
a few feet and the motor just stoped but restarted easy ?. Today I had to
try three times before it would run , and after that all seems fine now ?. I
would like to know if anyone can tell me what the problem could be .
Thanks for any help on the above.

Does this just happen from a cold start? If so, your batteries could
be weak, glow plugs or controller could be bad, or it could just be
way too cold to be starting without plugging in. If it isn't cold,
you could need a cps.
Thanks for the help I will take the truck in to the ford dealer next week to
get it tested and repaired nwwk week .They said it would take about one or
two hr to change the cps .

It is held on by two bolts, and located on the left front of the
flywheel as you're looking at it. Unless the bolts are completely
froze up, it shouldn't take more than about ten minutes to change.
If the bolt isn't frozen in place, replacing the cps is a 10 minute job
at the most. That includes a 5 minute coffee break.

I wouldn't know. I broke two sockets trying to get the f******* bolts
off. After a I couldn't get enough torque on a wrench and lost a
third socket in the gravel driveway I paid too much to have somebody
else fight with it. Hopefully it'll be easier next time, I carry one
in the glove box just in case.

Next time put a little Kroil on the problem bolt and tap it lightly with
a small ball peen hammer.
