my 1996 f 350 7.3l fuel filter light keeps coming on… after four visits to the mechanics, i have replaced the filter, filter housing, secondary filter, starter… basically, the fuel filter light comes on, then loss of power, then the truck stalls. after about 30 minutes of letting the truck sit, it will start again. the ford dealership doesnt know why this is happening…

My guess is a weak fuel pump.

HAs the wiring harness for the sensor been checked? How about the sensor itself?
