Default my 03 dodge diesel will not start

I blew a power steering hose , cleaned up the mess replaced the hose, driving down the road, truck revs up to about 3grand and dies the truck will not start. I have replaced the fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator and new batteries still no start , took to dodge dealer cause I had a p2509 my mechanic buddy said computer maybe needed to be flashed , dodge mechanic said computer is good and needed to do a fuel test , lift pump good, injector pump good but I only had 149 psi at rail he checked the fuel pressure relief valve it was bypassing like crazy, he says I needed a new one put new one on fuel pressure at rail is no 500 psi but still no start , now he is testing the injectors.....anyone else been through this any ideas.....

no other codes , can the crank shaft sensor although there are no codes be bad, since it does sit close to where the power steering line blew.

A good way to test that being you have no current codes is to disconnect the connector to it and try to crank it and see if you get codes then.
