Same problem
Its amazing how these threads just die suddenly and nobody comes back to say what the problem(s) actually were. I am pretty much n the same boat. Truck left me stranded yesterday after thinking I could somewhat trust it again.
I pulled the secondary FF cap off and she was dryer than a bone. Ran pump manually using the passenger side kick panel connection with +12V to the pink wire with black stripe. Kept bubbling fuel and bubbles up to the bowl and finally after umpteen tries and bowl draining, the bowl finally started to stay full.
Being stranded 12 miles from home I decided to try and start the truck, it did and it bucked me most of the way home but never stopped like it did earlier that day.
Going to try and get into it tomorrow but I am in NC and we love to get rain on our days off work here.

With a highly electronically controlled diesel motor that drives the injectors to operate with high pressure oil has a lot more things then just fuel availability and fuel pressure to run. It gets real expensive with a high frustration level to try to diagnose without having a method to monitor all the operating conditions. 1965 Mustang diagnosis is long gone.
So you need a monitor, such as a cheap methodology like a cell phone app and OBD2 adaptor and the best manual check, a permanently installed fuel pressure gauge in the cab. Otherwise it just a guess.
