SOURCE: I have an 04 f350 6.0 diesel that is bogging down.

WELL IT COULD BE UNBERNT FULE DO TO INJECTION PUMP OR COMPRESSION NOT RIGHT OR TIMING OR BAD INJECTOR

SOURCE: Engine shut down while driving, now it won't start.

Check your oil level. If it is ok then a computer diagnostic scan should be done to have all the engine sensors tested and checked.

SOURCE: 1999 f350 diesel engine shut down, turns over but

that fuse powers pcm fuel heater and some other things. when the fuse blows the pcm shuts down. causing it to not run. usually its the heater that is bad. it is located at the back driver side by the fuel pump. you can unplug it and see if it starts. if so you will need to replace the heater

Honestly you should send it into the dealer. I don't think guessing will help you. Typically it is a dirty connection into the steering column (behind the ignition key) But diagnostics need to be run and a look at the VSS system (through a good scan tool) is needed to confirm.

SOURCE: 99 f350 and parking lights won't shut off when turned off

The headlight switch could be damaged but to disconnect the radio first as some radios that did'nt come with the car may be connected wrong and power is going from the power wire at the radio to the dash light circuirt feeding thouth it to the regular lights. pulling the cig lighter fuse solves the problem points you to this answer.
