Default 2018 5.0 with P0001 code

Throwing a code. I fully realize what all it could be, my question is with anyone who has had it on a current gen truck, what did it end up being?

Have a road trip to make and curious what the odds favor.

What did the description of the code say?

It's a fairly generic code for a range of issues involving fuel pressure. Anything from a loose connector to bad fuel pressure regulator. Actual troubleshooting requires more sophisticated equipment than a code reader. My problem is that I need to put 400 miles on it before fixing.

I would just clear the code, drive it and see if it returns. If it returns, then there is an issue somewhere.

Question is: Anyone with a current gen truck who has had this code, what did it end up being?

This is an example where this forum is helpful even when one gets no real information back from a question. The complete lack of responses motivated me to look closer as faulty parts would be failing on lots of trucks. Sure enough I found a rodent chewed through a wire harness to the fuel pressure regulator. A little splice work and all is well. Cleared the code, did a 20 minute drive and no code return. Glad I didn't take it to the dealership first as it would have been a huge $$ repair and not warranty.
Good thing I didn't come on here bashing Ford because a 65K truck should never have a problem eh?

Thanks to the many who did not respond with a bunch of speculative nonsense.
