Heading to a campground today, info center comes on stating pull over safely or something similar. Barely make it to the side of the road and the truck just shuts off. No crank, no start, I think the computer shut everything down.
2008 job 1 with 75k miles. Had it towed to the dealer but they are closed until Monday. My biggest fear is the dreaded HPFP and I will be royally bent over by Ford. Anyone had something similar happen and should I lube up before head to the dealer Monday.
Any advice on how to proceed if warranty is denied. If they deny warranty I sure do not want Ford performing the work but my guess they will have me by the short hairs with a repair bill just to get to the denial stage.

If your truck is stock I don't know why you would have to worry about the warranty. I have never had any warranty issues with Ford. They always have come thru for me.

I am just a little gun shy from the warranty denial claims here and on other boards.
See above but:
Lets have some facts here.
What make and model? 2008 F250 Fx4 crew 6.4
What mods, tuners, etc. have you done? none
What mileage? 75K
What maintenance? Oil every 5K, fuel filters every 10k, all required mileage services, transmission, coolant, etc
What codes? don't know, no tuner = no code reader
Filled up on Thursday, died Saturday. Seemed to downshift a little more with the trailer in tow (lower power?), but not to the extent that says hey there is a problem brewing. All gauges normal before the pull over safely message.

I see by your profile that you own a 6.0 powered Ford...the engine Ford built their diesel stigma upon...Ford adopted a "Throw Parts and Pray" policy with the 6.0 that ran warranty costs to over a billion dollars.
This attitude is long gone now. Warranty abuses by worried owners of 6.0's has caused Ford to adopt warranty policies on the 6.4 and 6.7 engines that are not at all supportive of their customers. Just read a bit about the warranty denials reported here and on the Ford web boards...It is nearly impossible to get Ford to pay for 6.4 or 6.7 HPFP failures. The "water in fuel" card gets played as soon as the truck gets "pushed" into the dealership and the proof that it is not the problem will rest on the unfortunate owner...BTDT and have the $10,000 bill to prove it.

Alright, there is not enough information / facts to go on.
Lets see what the dealer says.

I read it is a 6.4 engine. Might just be a fuel filter??

Where did the last tank of fuel come from?
Do you have receipts?
Is it biodiesel?
Or any percent biodiesel?
Was biodiesel previously used?
What is the level of the oil sump?

Could be a bad temp sensor in the exhaust. That can cause a no crank concern.
