Had to be towed home today!
I was pulling a small utility trailer with a lawn mower on it when suddenly no power.
The truck was still running but there was nothing when I stepped on the pedal. I pulled off to the side of the road and shut the truck off. I tried to restart in and it would not start. It would crank but would not fire.
I had it towed home and now I need advice on what to do next.
What do I check? How do I check?
Thanks for your help.

Can you hear your lift pump kick on? Does your wait to start light come on? Same thing happened to me 9 months ago and it was the ECM that went out.

I can hear a "Buzzing" type of sound near the fuel filter after I tried cranking it. not sure if this is the lift pump. I am not to familiar with working on these diesels although I am quite mechanically inclined.
I'm not sure about the wait to start light. When I left the house, the truck started right up. The truck had not been started in over a month but it started without any problems. 10 minutes later... it died
Where is the ECM on these trucks and can they be tested?
