Hey i was reading some of the previous entries and im currently having
an issue with my 7.3. We get road fuel sent to the family farm and i
filled the truck up with diesel and headed to chicago to see my sister
for thanksgiving. about half way only like 65 miles the truck bogged
down for a second then went back to normal. Then about 5 seconds later
the SES light came on and the truck lost mostly all power. i pulled
over to inspect vitals but couldnt find anything wrong, oil press good
level good and all else good. Turbo is still in working order, but now
the truck boggs at a stop sign and Idols Horribly and just has no
where near the power it used to have... i changed the fuel and air
filter and put fuel for shell in there with some Diesel Kleen in there
also... problem continues... any ideas?

You probably had a piston seize due to water in the fuel.

Sounds like your cam position sensor,  it is common for them to go out.  
Exactly the symptoms you describe.  The part is about 165 $.
Goggle around for cam position sensor.  I replaced mine on my 2000 PS.  
You will need a 10 mm socket.

Good luck

CPS is a know problem on those engines but the best place to post your
query is www.thedieselstop.com  Lots of Ford guys there - your
question will get answered quickly and accurately.
