1997 Ford F250 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 240000 miles

I have a 7.3 diesel. This morning it started fine and ran for a little bit. About 1.5 miles down the road, it died. Now it will not start. It will crank, however the wait to start light for the glow plugs will not come on now. What do I need to check?
