Two problems related to ignition module have been reported for the 1999 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Random truck failure of the engine at no particular time. Problem diagnosed as camshaft sensor by Ford technicians. $185. 00 part that seems to be failing a lot according to Ford techs. Ford states they are currently not having problems with the sensors but out of 5 guys I personally know, all 5 have had problems with their 7. 3l diesel camshaft sensors. Extremely dangerous because of engine failure. Ford only offers a 1 month warranty on the item and offers an average of 6 months on any other electronic device on the truck. Seems they know the failures are occuring as well but doing nothing about it.
My 1999 Ford F-250 super duty 7. 3 power stroke diesel engine had intermittent engine failure while driving. This caused the vehicle to die in precarious locations, such as intersections and freeways. This originally occurred within two weeks of the vehicle purchase date when it was new in October 1998.

I have not received a recall notice from Ford, and have been unable to locate a recall on their power stroke website.
