You already replaced the CMP? didn't mention that in your other posts.
If I'm not mistaken the 97 has an electric pump like the 99+ trucks. If that is the case the truck will not die if the pump fails going down the road, it will continue to draw through, and it will restart if the system pressure holds.
Have you tried priming the filter bowl?

Is it an actual chip...piggybacked on the PCM, or a tuner? When a chip goes bad it will take everything else with it. Will it start with the chip removed? Or with the stock programming if it's a tuner?
The HPOP has regular engine oil in it.

I haven't tried removeing the chip yet. It's a tuner by the way. It died yesterday away from home. I'll be headed up there here in a bit. But I'll try that. I'm thinking or hoping anyway that it is the HPOP.

Had to take to Ford. Just as well. I haven't picked it up yet, but they said it was the main computer that runs the injectors, glow plugs, etc. I wonder if my superchips tuner could have anything to do with this going out???
