The fuel injection pump relay is located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) Refer to label under PDC cover for relay location. Check for any codes first but swap out this relay. I had this relay go bad would cause same problem. There are several injection pump codes which code did they pull?

Just an FYI, sometimes the truck won't run with a bad lift pump. I just changed mine out a few weeks ago (got a fortunate 135k out of the stock one before replacing), but it would die out on me and leave me on the side of the road as it did for you. Sometimes it would crank right back up, other times I would sit for 30 minutes before it would crank. Now with a new lift pump, all is well.

Well, mine's running like a champ now, put 300 miles on it today without a hiccup. Debating whether to swap the VP I bought in or just wait and run this one til it dies.

And the saga continues...
Still waiting on the VP and the pump relay to get here, Raptor just showed up today.
Drove in to town tonight. Stopped to get some groceries. Came out and the truck just cranked, lift pump wouldn't kick on, and acted like there was no fuel. I swapped the fuel pump relay with the horn relay and it fired right up. Drove about 1/2 a mile down the road and the tach dropped to 0 and check-engine light came on, truck was still running fine though. Drove the 45 miles home and checked the codes when I got home. Showing a P0336 (Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Signal).
Is everything just crappin out at once here? Or is one thing causing all these issues somehow? I'm gettin frustrated... Just picked up a Service manual and all the Diagnostic Procedure manuals. 6 inches of books, maybe I can find something...lol
