Welcome to the site Justin, I would recommend checking the fuel heater. Unplug it (located on the side of the fuel filter cannister) and then check the fuse. If its burnt replace it and try to start the truck.

Do you have a chip on it. If so pull the chip off and it should run. I installed a ts chip on my truck and it did the same thing.

that 'feature' was an indicator of bad batteries or low voltage.

And possibly.. Dirty battery connections (low voltage).
What JLD sez about the #30 fuse, Load Test the Batts (independently), replace BOTH, even if only one is weak, clean up all the batt posts and connections and give'r a try.

You are correct I missed that it would still crank.

A shorted fuel heater did the same thing on one in my shop. I bet that is it.
I got bit by that one myself, on my personal f-250. The replacement heating element from ford is a far better design. Might also check to see if the electric fuel pump (mounted in the frame rail below the driver's floor) is coming on when you turn on the ignition (no fuel=no fire).
