could be a worn lift pump and or a worn ip too.but you were told right.simple/cheap things first before jumping to conclusions.
do a search for "testing lift pump" or "fuel pressure flow test" -key words like that will get ya going.its pretty simple and easy to see if your lift pump is working ok.

1 very common place is where your fuel lines connect to the metal lines going to the water seperator,could be anywhere from the tanks all the way up to the IP. Do you notice any fuel leaks or strong diesel smell anywhere??

very same dishonest ford stealership experience here too.
but i didn't pay.i didn't let him rook me,and he knew he couldn't make me.
never been back,only for parts,and only when 100% no other option.

Lift pump test ... 4 to 6 lbs at Schrader Valve, 1/3 pint in 10 seconds of cranking... It should pump a non-aerated stream.
Personally, I would not take it to the dealer, the only interest they have is making money!
