Trying to my truck going again and I'm a bit rusty on what is and isnt normal with the truck behavior.
I had the engine out of my F250 for a basic reseal and a few quick repairs before I begin using the truck on a daily basis again.
I just got the engine back and did not prime it beyond filling up the HPOP reservoir. I know it takes a while to get going but at this point I'm beginning to have doubts.
When the engine is turning over, I'm not seeing any pressure build on my factory oil pressure gauge. Also, with key on my oil temp light is on.
The fuel bowl is full and I can hear the pump priming.
The truck started up fine before the motor was pulled so i'm trying to verify my work before I suspect any components failed.
Im also without any scan tool at this time which is hilarious because its all in my F350, in Arizona.
Get a booster charger on it. Disconnect the 42 pin connector, crank it over in 30 second intervals, cooling the starter between tries....do that maybe 4-5 times, connect the 42 and crank some more. There is a fuse for the PCM, but I don't recall the number.

May I ask the benefit of disconnecting the 42 pin?
I topped off the HPOP and turned it over a few times. The level was going down. I tried it a few more times before deciding to put a charger on the truck for the night.
Its pouring rain here so I gave up for the night.
If the HPOP reservour drained down, should I be worried its a LPOP issue? Im still hoping im dealing with a lot of air but this is the first time I've had this much of an issue.
Use a scrap of paper or bit of rag to seal the bore of the HPOP below the threads then use grease on the tap to capture the chips while threading it. Do it in small steps, turn the tap a quarter turn then back it a bit before turning it another quarter or so, cut a thread or two, back out tap and clean, grease tap and repeat. Use plenty of grease to fill the tap each time. When through extract the paper or rag and look for bits that may have got by you. Some Helicoils have a drive bar that breaks off when it is fully installed, if that is what you have be sure to plug the bore once more with paper or a rag scrap to catch the piece if it comes off the installation tool. If the coil requires you to drill out the original hole before threading use the same procedure to seal the bore and fill the flutes of the drill bit with grease, drill a little at a time. It's not rocket science just take your time, patience and a six pack will work every time.

What you described above is exactly what I was thinking, but didn't have enough time at the moment to go into that level of detail. Thanks for closing the gaps I left wide open!!
