Possibly a fuel supply problem. Cannot condemn the fuel pump itself without confirming all power and grounds are good and functioning. Also , different models have different fuel control set ups. Has the fuel filter been changed lately?

Cam sensor might prevent it from starting, but I don't at this time believe it would cause loss of power, yet a questionable crank sensor might. Does the RPM tach show a sudden loss of RPM when this happens?

yes it loses power down to 1 rpm but if it is a small event it goes right back up if it is a big event it takes a while or it dies a few times it just depends on wht the truck wants i changed the chrank sensor last year .

Ouch !
Fords don't usually have too many problems with crank sensors, but There may be a relationship here.
Can we ask why you needed ro replace it?
Also , might be a good idea to take another look at it and the mounting and wiring.
Did you you get it from Ford?
