Need more help dead 6.0

Then here is the latest I installed new fuel filters and fully charged both batteries. Put the key in the ignition and vroom it started right up everything seemed good and after about 10 minutes it died again and will not fire up again. So does anyone have any great idea’s for this scenario?????????



POST BELOW IS FROM YESTERDAY 1-31-06

(Was driving my 03 F-350 crewcab dually 6.0 diesel with auto trans today about 45-50 mph felt it loose power when I pulled over to the side it died. It would not start felt like it was not getting any fuel. I sprayed some starter fluid in the intake it fired up and stayed ideling. I shut it off and it would not start again until I sprayed some more starter fluid in the intake. I tried to drive it after I had gotten it started and it died. This truck has 133,000 mls has been a great vechicle with no problem at all.Any segestions would greatly help, I don't want to give it to Ford I will never get it back.)
Thank you,
Todd

Well it was a high pressure oil pump mounted under the manifold. Will be fixed Tuesday to the sum of approx. $3,700.00. Thank you for all the help

PS was told by the Ford mech. that very small amounts of starting fluid will not damage the engine VERY SMALL AMOUNTS
