Oil Pressure issue

I have never had problem with my 6.0 then Tuesday 2 weeks ago she would not start she would crank but wouldn't fire up. I had it towed and the shop says that there isn't enough oil pressure to kick on the injectors they have been tearing apart the engine since then and have not found the component causing the issue any help you all can off I would greatly appreciate.

Have they verified you have low pressure oil pressure, or base engine oil pressure? What year 6.0? Did it die while running or you just shut if off one night and it would start again?

Take it to a different shop. The HPO leak can found in less than 15 minutes with proper knowledge.

Bingo Josh......I cringe when I read posts like this, gives me visions of a $$$ meter that keeps climbing with no real results. The shop knows little from what the OP says if they have been tearing into the engine and don't know why.
I would go and get that truck as fast as I can, find a reputable shop that knows the 6.0....the towing bill will pay for itself in an hour.
