good to here.
sounds like you got it figured out but if it comes back i know 2 more things
that caused my truck to do the same. easiest/dumbest thing was coroded battery terminals. and the other was when i put my shroud back in i didn't hook up the two sensors on the passenger side and it cut out exactly like in your video.

My truck does this once in a great while and it turned out to be batt terminals. It would click like dead batt so I would get under the hood wiggle my positive terminal and once it started it would run like crap wouldnt idle without my foot on the gas then after about 2 min of rev's and driving around like a idiot it would be perfectly fine.

could it be the pump losing power or somthing? if you don't have the tool
to clean the terminal get it i have to clean mine at least once a month. i even
tried those felt pads that prevent corrosion and it ate those up quick.

Could be as simple as loose connector on the pump itself or your pump might be on its way out but If its making/holding steady fuel pressure I would rule out the pump itself dying
