The cam positioning sensor in the ford power stroke 7.3l diesel has gone out at 60,000 miles. This caused the vehicle to completely shut down. This was not the only truck this has happened to. Many people I know had this happen within the first 100,000 miles. Ford repaired the cps for $400.00 at my expense. Also the o ring in the high pressure oil pump went out at 71,000 miles with no warning, causing me to dump all of the oil out. I discovered it before it caused motor problems. Ford fixed this problem for $500.00. Both problems a were very common with the 7.3l and need to be addressed by ford. They were not ordinary problems and need some kind of attention from ford.
