ok thx. i will pm him. i really dont want to take it to a shop. im an aircraft engine mechanic so i can figure it out with a little advice from the ppl that know more about these engines. i i really have been blessed to not have to work on this truck. she has been very good to me. but over time things will go bad. and plus really like learning new things.

i would deff start with a fuel pressure test, it almost sound like you have an intermittent fuel pump.. make sure you do the test a couple of times.
