Check the fuse for the fuel bowl heater - ECM/PCM is on same circuit -fuel bowl heater corrodes and shorts out so if thats it then just unplug it and replace fuse
Died while driving, BCM. It’s inside the drivers front wheel well, I’d be starting there.
Died like you shut the key off or sputtered ran rough and died? Check your valve cover gasket wire harness/plugs. Injector wiring runs through there and they like to melt at the plug

Ok then its beyond me - the only time mine has died in 20years / 350,000 miles it was the fuel bowl heater shorted and blew that fuse
Have you checked the camshaft position sensor? I keep one in my glove box as they are known to fail.

I was hoping the SES light and lack of power were due to glow plugs being bad, but not sure a bad glow plug or 2 would throw the SES light...? Also didn’t think my glow plug issues would effect the truck for 10-15 minutes after it was running.. so that had me thinking possible bad injector or O-ring...? I think these are unrelated to my no start/no smoke out the pipe issues but not 100% sure especially if it’s an injector....

Does it fire right up if plugged in at night?
