1 Lose Power Steering problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2011

I was driving the truck away from a traffic light. When the truck reached approximately 20 mph. The engine shut down completely. I lost forward motion, steering control and braking power. I was able to wrestle the truck off the road and into a parking lot. This is a Ford truck powered by a 6. 7 Ford diesel engine. , the truck is generally used to tow a 13000 pound fifth wheel. If I had been towing the fifth wheel, the outcome would surely have been a disaster. Problem turned out to be a totally failed bosch cp4-2 high pressure fuel pump. The pump slowly fails. As the pump travels the path to total destruction, the operator has no warning that the engine will suddenly die. When the truck quits, the operator has lost power steering and power brakes on a 8,500 to 23,500 pound vehicle.
