Exclamation ford f250 diesel shut off while driving

I have the very famous 2004 ford f250 diesel with the 6.0L (thats the first problem)
While we where towing a small load it shut off while we where stoping at a red light and will not start. It will turn over but no luck on starting again... can someone give me any idea whats wrong with it. Was not running hot and yes it does have PLENTY of fuel. Oil pressure was fine and was running perfect. HELP!!!!

Not a good way to start off looking for advice. "I have the very famous 2004 ford f250 diesel with the 6.0L (thats the first problem)" I guess all the other brands never have any problems. GOOD LUCK

Charge batteries, have them load tested, and check the FICM (KOEO and cranking).

Tech folder has a thread on checking FICM voltage, but the easiest way is to buy a scangaugeII.

You might also want to see if it will start with the ICP sensor disconnected.

More info available in the "No Start" thread in the Tech Folder.

Here is a start if you don't know where stuff is under the hood:
