we may have winner here! Regardless if this will actually correct your issue, I would buy a OEM CPS (Riff RAFF sells them for about $25) and change it out. You are more than likely going to have nothing but problems with the one you have in now.

not necessarily deeper, just a different issue 
These rigs are pretty solid, but it is amazing how sometimes the smallest, simplest thing can have a huge impact.
If you have an IH dealer near you, you can usually get them straight over the counter.

Aftermarket CPS has a rep for this. Get OEM Ford or IH.
Could be water intrusion to the IDM. Go thru any heavy water recently? Should throw a code.
I wonder if the pickup foot came off in the tank. It has a little under a quarter tank of fuel in it. It will fill the fuel bowl, but the pump sounds like it keeps running and almost sounds as if there is some air or something in the lines. Kinda sounds like a burbbling sound.
Filling up the tank will solve the broken foot problem, if it is indeed broken.

Changed to oem cps, checked ipr nut, Was tight. Filled tank to half. I drove it 6 miles with no issues. I do wonder if I have a fuel pressure problem. I turn the key, pump comes on and it seems to run a while till what sounds like a relay in the dash kicks it off. Not like I think it should come up to pressure and quit. Maybe I'm wrong. Regardless, I'm gonna drive it a bunch tomorrow and see what happens.

That's great, sounds like you have found at least one of your problems, maybe cured them all. Only real way to find out about your fuel foot is to either drop the tank and pull it, or start running your tank till empty. If it starts cutting out on you around the quarter tank mark, then you have found another issue to repair.
The pump normally turns off after 20 seconds or so if you don't start the truck, then kicks back in when you go to start it. All sounds normal to me.
