03 F350 6.0 stock engine, no mods....I started having an issue with my truck dying going down the road. It first happened pulling on to the freeway once I got up to about 60, died, i put it in nuetral and it started right up but it kept doing it again and again. It seemed more prevalent on grades. I thought that it could be possibly the fuel filters, so I changed the oil and filters thinking that would fix the issue. No such luck, then I wondered if air was in the fuel line(I never got a straight answer on how to bleed the air out after new filters). It seem to go away for a while, I recently moved and hauled 4 large loads about 30 miles each without it ever dying once. The day after it started doing it again. Now after it warms up it wont drive 5 minutes without dying.
A possible related issue? I have had a check engine light on for a month or so that I had checked out at a NAPA dealer. They said it was " faulty IPC unit"...I looked into them and they are @150 bucks (which I dont mind buying). Two issues though, it seems like a pain in the butt to get to and I dont want to waste my time or money if that doesnt fix it. ANY IDEAS????

Did they give you the code like P1211 ?. A lot of times it's not what the code is that get's set.

I think its related to the pigtail for IPC, I moved the wires around and it hasnt since. Im not sure of the code its been a while. Since then I broke down in Tucumcari NM (BFE!!) 600 miles from home. Had two leave it there while they fixed and drive a rental home.
Lost two injectors and burned a intake valve. Now Im trying to round up a standard labor rate schedule so I dont have to pay excess hrs for work completed.
