I am a retired mechanic,( 1984), I dont have much experiance with these computerized rigs, or desktops for that matter. My 2000 F-250
7.3 Turbo diesel recently started stalling for no particular reason. If it had a coil, I'd say that was the problem, as it seems to run fine until it warms up, then stalls. It will restart warm, but will only run a short time. I want to change oil and fuel filter, but haven't yet. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
Camshaft position sensor -- which is actually on the crank.
Very easy to change and a very likely culprit.

Thank you Don, I'll check it out John
If Dons suggestion doesn't work out, I would then look for air leaks in the fuel system and possibly a faulty injector pump.
I don't know if it's true of the 2000 models, but folks have suggested of the older ones (mine's an '88 with the IDI 7.3L) to pour some cool water over the injector pump to see if that allows it to run for a while longer. If it does, it is probably new pump time.
