Died last night on way home and wouldn't start

98.5, 24v, Auto, Raptor LP, Quad M3, 98k miles, driving home last night 10miles into 300 from cabin in AK truck just unexpectedly dies LP was showing 13 when bumping over while trying to bleed injectors. Normal pressure at cruise is 11/12. Is this a dead VP can fuel get to injectors from lp pressure with a failed vp? Only other thing i checked was fuses. I had to leave it.....i need help. Thanks in advance, any ideas?

Loosen as many injector lines as possible, crank it to see if equal fuel comes thru each line.
If not, the pump seized and is done.
These pumps will die with fuel pressure. much sooner without pressure.
Do you know anyone with a smarty? Borrow it and read codes.

Mine died over about two months dieing for no reason and strting when It felt like it. When it bit the bullet I could not get fuel to flow like it should out of the lines. With all lines cracked there should be a significant amount of fuel flow. If not, consider the pump DOA.
