Couple of things come to mind here....
Does the tach move when cranking? If not probably bad cmp, I know you just changed it but......
Also check the fuel heater in the fuel bowl, if it's shorted out it can cause a no start problem, unplug it and check fuse #22 under the hood, heck check 'em all just to be sure.

Yeah dumb me, I saw the other post by diesel_dan about no starting truck and it was his battery, I hooked up some jumper cables and "Wa-La", it started. I couldnt believe it. I mean the gagues all read fine the truck cranked just fine, but it turned out to be no voltage.Thanks for all your help, I almost paid ford to tow my truck and fix it.
