I saw your thread in that Link in your sig
You could have fixed this I see you like to wrench some there not to bad to deal with normaly
Might as well let Ford fix it this time
But Look into getting a Gauge to read Live data and we can walk you threw the trouble shooting part and Repair next time
I use a ScanGaugeII it 160.00 from autozone
It will show all engine sensors and even some trans sensors
check it out here www.scangauge.com
We could have checked a Few sensors and NArrowed it down
We might of even been able to unplug a Sensor and got it to run

My truck died just like yours & it was the FICM.
Pulled out of the gas station after fill up a couple propane tanks & it just died in the middle of an intersection.
Cranked fine, sputtered once, black smoke then '0'.

This truck has sucked the life out of me
The resin I'm building a old school rig is I need a back up truck for my problem child 6.0
I have pulled down codes from my stc tuner before . Will that work to tell me what's wrong this time?

I vote for FICM (Fuel Injection Control Module)
Have a look in the tech folder at the FICM testing.
All you need is a few smaller torx bits and a volt
meter.Also a helper would be handy.
