“We have replace 4 crank trigger sensors on our 2001 f350 super duty since we got it. Yesterday I was driving the truck at 70 miles an hour on the freeway when it started to shake. I thought I had a flat so I lifted and got over to pull off the freeway, but the truck kept shaking and the speed was dropping fast. I turned on the emergency flashers and could do nothing except try to get it off the freeway. It stalled so I pulled off. It would not restart. After about 20 minutes in 16 degree temperatures I tried to restart. …”
