How much fuel in the tank? Did you check your engine oil level? Check the IPR tin nut - that is very consistent with what you are experiencing. The nut will back off and then the solenoid slides over the valve and can't keep it closed. Check fuel pressure. A gauge is a great addition to any 7.3, but opening the drain valve and having someone cycle the key while you watch will give you a rough idea.

If you want to post your location, someone close by might be able to run over and put a scanner on it for you.
