Engine died while driving

Hey want to see if I am on the right track. 2005 6.0 f250 no programmer, I did an egr delete, oil cooler upgrade and 5 in turbo back exhaust no cat. I also change the IPR valve a little over a year ago.
On my way to work truck running fine lost power and killed. Towed truck home and it starter up fine. FICM is showing 48 volts no check engine light but I can't pull codes.
I am thinking high pressure oil problem pump or the oil rail plugs any way to check or am I on the wrong road
Thank in advance for all your help

Sounds like your on the right track.

First, digital gauges will help diagnose a high pressure problem. If proven, do an air test to find out where.

Second, make sure it's getting fuel.

If it was a Dorman oil cooler, it wasn't an upgrade and it has a failure prone gasket (and weak internals).
