help truck won't start

i have 2002 F-450 that has 500,000 km (since iam canadian) on it. I pulled over in oregon to sleep shut the truck of and it wouldn't start but it crank over. Got it towed to a dealership they charged the batteries and it started. they were unable to find fault but it had low icp during crank and codes p0360 and p1211 showed up . Anyways i got the truck back home plug it in and left it for a few days. Then when i went to start it up and it chug a little like its was running out of fuel and wouldn't start after it stalled. pulled the codes wiht my super chips tuner p0603 showed up i cleared the codes and still nothin then i took the battery cables off ,clean them and charged the batteries still nothin. OH i forgot to mention the dealer put in a new kam positon sensor i guess it was a recall, before i parked it. As far as i could tell( if i did the right sensor, the one right behind the alternator) i unplugged the icp and the truck still doesn't start. then i checked the hpop hole on the top and there doesn't seem to be any oil in it. would there be if the truck sat a couple of days? anybody got any ideas before i get it towed again to the ford dealership?

fill the hpop and see if it starts, if it does look underneath for a leak on the hpop.

Check you oil level. If its low, add oil to block and to hpop and give it a try.

When you added oil to the HPOP, where you able to fill it to within 3/4" of the top, and did it stay filled? Did you check the oil level again after you cranked it.

How old is your engine oil, and is it topped off?
