Urbon, Could be a lot of things causing your F550 not to start, bad fuel, clogged filters, faulty fuel pump, faulty IDM(injector driver module), low voltage to injectors,etc. Check oil level as a first step and top up to full if needed. If you can have the truck scanned by a good diesel tech., diagnosed and estimate repair. See attached No start diesel engine diagnostic links. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck
