I have a 1996 Ford F350 If your diesel engine stalls on a regular basis. I would replace the camshaft sensor. It is located right below the water pump it has one bolt and one wire harness. Less than a 20 minute job. Part cost approx. $25.00

Water in fuel? Have you drained the water collector. Is the port open to allow draining? They tend to rust and clog up and water can't escape. Batteries both charged up good. Need to disconnect each and charge individually. Just acouple of suggestions from a 94 7.3 350 turbo-DI owner. I had the same problem
