I checked the batteries , checked the oil to see if fuel had drained into oil, checked coolant for possible leakage into cylinders, every thing good. I had a tow truck take it to the Ford dealer. Forst thing they said is dropped a injector and is hydro locked. great news I love spending money on this diesel. They called to day and said they found the problem, a/c compressor was locked up and chocked the motor down and would not let it turn over fast enough to start. Not cheap but so much better than motor problem. never seen one do that . it is a 2003 F450 with a 6.0 now you know what I mean about spending money on the motor.

He said it did start then loped a few times then died and wouldn't restart. In my experience a seized a/c pump would cause belt to scream and smoke but shouldn't drag a running engine down to the point where it would stall? And if it can. Well I don't see how you could haul anything with that motor. My two cents from experience.
