Heres what happened, truck started and did not get oil pressure quick enough so it shut down. I tried to restart but starter decided it didnt even want to try. So I unhooked batteries and took starter off and took it to napa. They tested the old one said was no good. No problem, got remanned starter, put everything back together & wont start. Now glow plug light stays on! Its a manual tranny, so tried pull starting it - still no go
The HPOP has nothing to do with filling the filter or getting fuel to it.
Also changing the oil does not change the oil in the HPOP reservoir.
That needs to be sucked out and refill manually.
I would make sure the electric inline lift pump mounted on the inside left frame rail under the drivers floor is working. There is also a lift pump fuse in the fuse box on the left front fender.
You will need the owners manual to find which one as Ford only marks them with numbers.
I have seen a weak Lift pump blow the fuse if the pump tries to restart after building head pressure then stalling the pump.
If the LP checks out look elsewhere.
My bet is a bad LP if you have more than 120,000 miles and is original.

HPOP reservoir is filled with engine oil, fed from the oil pump, it is always changing, these engines are very finicky with engine oil, must be changed every 3500 miles.
I almost was thinking of buying a truck with a 7.3 in it and getting rid of my cummins, but after working on one, and seeing all the problems, no way........
One more time, did you check the HPOP reservoir oil level???

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
