first breakdown

Howdy, I have a 01 F-250, 5.4, 4x4. Last Thursday night it just died. Felt like running outta gas. Rolled to the shoulder, plenty of cranking, no start. I was in the middle of absolutely nowhere and the ONLY place around was a Ford dealer in the nearest town. So, hadda get towed to the dealer. I'll skip the details like how bad the service was. I'm thinking fuel pump, lotta money. Dealer can only determine that I have no fuel pressure. Duh, knew that when the truck died. SO they finally find a blown fuse and have to replace a cylinder coil. They also performed a "Power Balance" according to the service worksheet. Got the truck back and now the resume function on cruise control doesn't work. I guess my question is can the new problem be related to the work they did or do I have some electrical gremlin running around ? I need this truck for work so I can't spend the time and money to chase down electric issues if that is what it comes to. Thanks for any help.

I would think they disconnected something and forgot to put it back...I've taken my cars and trucks back to them and said...."It worked when i brought it in, now it's not....WHAT'D YOU DO?"
