Problem overview

Some Ford F-250 owners report experiencing stalling issues while driving after the truck has warmed up, followed by the engine restarting but dying again. This problem may stem from a variety of potential causes, including fuel system issues such as a clogged fuel filter or a failing fuel pump, which can disrupt fuel delivery. Additionally, electrical problems, like failing sensors or other electrical system malfunctions, could contribute to the stalling. Some owners also note that falling oil pressure as the oil warms up can lead to engine shutdowns. Another possible cause is an injector o-ring leak, which may impact the pressure levels necessary for proper engine operation. To address these concerns, it is recommended that owners check the fuel system components, inspect the electrical system for faults, monitor oil pressure levels, and investigate any potential injector o-ring leaks to ensure the truck operates smoothly without stalling.
