2005 oil pump problem
I have a 2005 F350 super duty. I had LPOP failure. I have replaced the LPOP gears as well as the front cover and the oil pan gaskets. I have inspected the oil pick up tube and made sure the inlet and outlet were clear.
I used white lithium grease to attempt to prime the new pump, and still cannot get it to pump oil.
What am i missing here? I am open to any suggestions.

The motor has 300,000 miles on it. I have employees who neglected the truck maintenance, and allowed it to go too long between oil changes. I found metal shavings in the pump gears as well as scoring in the pump housing. I did add to the filter housing. I cranked for 30 seconds with full batteries.
I have not changed the regulator yet, but will do so today.
I am not a professional mechanic. I own a construction company, and will need this truck soon.
