Hi All,
Been a whiile since I've been here: 1999 7.3 diesel. Pulled into parking
lot last night and truck quit running. Turned the key off, and tried to
start it and noticed the "wait to start" light did NOT come on. Only had
drived truck about 8 blocks and 20 degs outside. Any relays or circuit
breakers I can look for before I tow to a garage?
Thanks,

That sound like battery cables to me. I had my jeep do this about 3
times. I ended up scraping the terminals with a knife. Be careful!
This could be an explosive situation! Short Nothing!

Truck turns over just fine, acts like its not getting fuel. Checking all
power center fuses and breakers right now.
Thanks,

This may not help, but extremely low oil will cause the high pressure pump
to shut down.

I meant to say: "will cause the high pressure fuel pump to shut down".

Do you get movement on the tach when cranking the engine? If not, could be
the CPS ( cam position sensor )

I will check both these out. My "wait to start" light does NOT come on
anymore, but I didn't look at Tach or oil.
