My wife daily drives a 2000 F250 and on her way home from work it died and would not restart, even 2hrs after it initially died. I swung by Southwest International and picked up a replacement CPS. The truck started right up and ran for about 10 minutes when it stumbled for a second or two and died. So I had it towed to the house last night, so this morning I figured if I put the original CPS back in and it doesn't start, then the likely hood would be my replacement is defective. I put the original back in and it started right up and I let it run for about 30 minutes and it never died. I swapped back over to the new replacement and let it run for 30 minutes.
I took the day off from work to fix my wife's truck, so I don't have to worry about her getting stranded with my son and now I can't get the damn thing to duplicate the failure. Even though it runs fine now, I don't feel comfortable letting her drive it without knowing what the hell happened. It doesn't have a check engine light on when it's running and I don't know for sure if my local parts store can scan a diesel anyway.
Anyone have any suggestion's or input on how I can get this thing diagnosed without spending a lot of money?
