Lml Fuel issues broken down full of tools

It's a stock 2016 with 225k. So I'm driving home today after work and getting the kids from school. I'm in medium traffic and go to accelerate and the truck has absolutely no power to accelerate. I look at the dash nothing new showing up. Shortly after this approx 1 minute limp mode comes on for 10 seconds then the truck dies. Try to restart and nothing, I figured I lost my prime so I go prime the pump and nothing. Go to open the bleeder screw not realizing it's plastic and I break it. Not a big deal AutoZone has the brass version and I found the hot screwdriver trick to get the rest of the threads out. My question is what fuses and relays should I be looking at first? The truck is currently on the street full of tools. They are fairly secure but I need this truck to make money! Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Going to replace everything but the tank. I can't afford another 1200 so magnets plus thorough cleaning. The kits are ridiculously expensive for the lines and gaskets do you know the exact part breakdown? I know injector lines and return lines plus the lines for the fuel rails and new rails. Filter head and filter even though I just replaced it. A new sending unit for the tank 8 injectors the auxiliary injector and line for the emissions junk. I'm going with the fleece cp3 since it's carb compliment. Faas lift pump. What else? What gaskets are needed.
Looking at the service bulletin it's got the complete list of parts. It doesn't require injector replacement but I'll still do it, mine have over 200k on them. I'm honestly thinking about diy'ing this. I am mechanically inclined but this really seams like a PITA should I pay for the labor here, or was it worth the savings for those of you who have done it?
I don't understand the "doesn't require injectors." Pretty sure that's where some of the debris ends up.

I didn't replace the tank. Figured my FASS pump would catch any debris coming from the tank before it got back up under the hood. Ran it another 90k miles without issue.

That’s why I emphasized THOROUGHLY
And Lincoln Diesel has a pretty good catastrophic failure kit put together. I may be ordering one pretty soon for a customer of mine, we will see
