Fueling issue?
Hey all so I went out this morning and started the truck it started slowly (cooler morning) not much thought put into it. Made it around the corner and truck died.
I was going to see if anyplace in town had the fuel rail
Passenger Side Fuel Line for Ford 7.3L Powerstroke (99-03)
Wasn't able to make it and from what I have seen online they don't have it at Orileys anyhow.
Now I'm sitting with a new truck that won't stay running due to an unknown fueling issue. Any help where to start looking would be amazing!

So after opening the fuel filter bowl changing the filter also 2 gallons of oil she started right up... I checked oil at the dealership and there was oil plus I drove it 3 hours with no issues I have no puddles under truck so I have no clue why she was 2 gallons of oil low...

Bingo. May all of our problems be so easy.
Leaky injector o rings letting oil mix into the fuel is a rather invisible way to lose oil. As noted above a black fuel filter is the giveaway. Blown turbo seal often shows as oil out the tail pipe. Also check the radiator degas/overflow tank for oil. Hopefully it's not that as it would point to cracked injector cups.
