99 7.3 diesel......IM kinda clueless on this one...My truck will be running fine then all of a sudden it just dogs out and barely wants to stay running... but if i shut it off and start it back up it starts running fine...sometimes for awile ..other times for only a few minutes...heres what ive done to it recently...first off i thought it was the fuel pump....put one on ...ran fine for awile..but it didnt last....so i thought for sure after that it was a cps....put a new one a those on prolly only a couple a months ago...ran fine up until now...ive replaced the fuel filter several times...the only other thing i can see wrong with it right now is i do have oil leaking from what i can tell the hpop lines...guess my question now is is it possible for them to leak enuf oil to where the injectors wont have enuf pressure to fire..that is if im understanding how the system works right....its not a terrible leak but im prolly 3 qts low in a coulple days of driving but ive been keeping the oil level up until i have time to get them fixed...the other daywhen it done this it was running so ruff that the o/d light came on and it started shiftin like crap.....i havent had time to go get the codes pulled but if we cant figure it out here i guess thats what ill have to go do...any help is appreciated

I know this sounds off the wall but how long since your last oil change? Had a friend experience this same intermittent problem and it went away with an oil change. The oil does fire the injectors and no it wont run out of oil in the HPOP until the rest of the motor is also out of oil. Just trying to help.

The reason I asked was because a friend spent about 4 weeks fighting one doing this intermittent loss of power and shutting off. He tried everything that the shop foreman at the Ford dealer told him it could be until one day the Ford guy asked if it was running Rotella oil and did it have over 2,000 miles on it. The answer was yes to both. The Ford guy said put an anti foaming additive in it or change the oil. Well he changed the oil and all is well.
Now I have posted this story before and like most others on here I find it a hard story to believe. But I saw the truck act up and I saw the truck run flawlessly after the oil change. I did not ask him what kind of oil he used. I personally run Rotella as do a lot of other people on here. But you can bet that if my truck ever starts this I will change the oil first. If it needs doing it is the cheapest thing to do.
Not bashing Rotella here just relating an experience that happened to involve Rotella. Like I said I run it in my truck and will continue to do so.
