Nice find and welcome to FTE! The stickies as well as the knowledgeable guys here will be able to help great deal. Most do CAI with a 6637 filter, 3" Downpipe, exhaust, gauges for EGT and Boost, and a performance tuned chip to get started. You are good to do all of the maintenance first and get a good baseline and then go from there. You may find issues arise from a truck that's been sitting. They like to be worked hard. I have personally found that the ones that have been "beat on" have less issues. The ones that have been babied tend to have the need to be coddled for a bit (like my truck) LOL

I ordered the 6637 filter and a prefilter, seems like the general consensus is that the K&N that's in my truck sucks.
Bought a motorcraft filter and 4 gallons rotella 15w40 conventional oil.
Ordered a 6 position chip from riffraff diesel.
Bought two new gel batteries at a local farm store.
Now I'm looking for a good deal on tires.

Yes, my first insight is DO NOT USE STARTING FLUID!!!! You can cause major engine damage and the glowplug system can cause huge explosion. Check you CPS. We need a lot more info on what the truck is doing. Google "7.3 no start flow chart". It's an invaluable tool. This should help though.

Engine will not start flow chart, print it and keep in glove box!

Thanks for the chart.
i just used a tiny shot of starting fluid to see if it would fire and narrow down the problem.
when I was messing with it I noticed the ipr valve is loose. The nut is completely missing from the backside of it. That seems like a problem.
more info on what happened. It has ran completely fine, since I brought it home. It ran fine, today. Then it suddenly stopped running while coasting to a red light.

I installed a new nut to hold the fuel IPR valve in tight but still no start.
So I ordered a new one. Also got fuel bowl o-rings, filter and cap, fuel regulator screen and o-rings kit.
Had to buy a new ICP sensor also, cause someone broke it off while trying to help diagnose my problem.
