Fpdm?
I did replace the FPDM. Alas, no go on the FPDM. It sounded like it would start a couple times and even started for a split second. So, the fuel pump was ordered last week. Got it in yesterday and replaced that yesterday. Unfortunately all of the retainer clips broke. I got the replacements except one. I'm going to put that on this morning and test it once again. I'll post the results. And thanks for checking back!

Glad you're running again. For what it's worth, proactively replacing the fpdm is a good thing. It WAS going to stop working at some point. Usually the at most inconvenient time.

Concerning the FPDM...Does this happen only in certain areas (cold climates) etc & how would I know if mine is original or has been replaced? Trying to do a lot of preventative maintenance before issues arise. Thanks!
BTW the truck came from Vegas and I bought it used in So California. Some guy was on reddit doing a FORD VIN check and my truck has never been serviced other than recalls

Mine had 150K when the FPDM died... Well, we have winters with salt and moisture but it was the original FPDM and did the job for 10 years.
Because it's a low cost maintainance i'd change it first if i bought a new (to me) truck.
No experience with southern US climates here
