Crank but no start
We recently bought a 2005 ford f250 with the 6.0L diesel and we bought it knowing it has engine issues so we replaced the ficm we checked that it was getting fuel and that it was getting oil up to the oil filter we have good batteries when the engine cranks it sounds like the injectors aren't firing my thought would be something with the hpop but am not sure about it the guy we bought it from said he was driving down the road and it was like someone turned the key off and he tried starting it but wasn't able to get it started at all and had let the truck sit since 2019 any help would be appreciated!

Woohoo! Let's all just throw some idea out, whatever we think it might be. Prolly only 20 or so really possible things it could be. Maybe a Closest to the Pin contest where we all ante up $20, winner take all. I'll go first and say the IPR valve is stuck open. Something blew through the screen and is wedged in the valve. 30 mins and some carb cleaner; it runs good as new.

OK, the pot is at $80! I guess it's OK for more than one person to guess the same thing? They'd just split it up like lottery winners, lol.
For the record though, in case it wasn't obvious, I was actually just yanking Isaac's chain.

We all were Commie.
But until he gets a monitoring system set up and scans for codes and post some up readings there's not a whole lot we can do but guess. Hell, the price tag on our guesses is up there in parts and labor already.
