Next day wouldn't start

The lift pump was replaced 10yrs/100000 miles ago
Shop is at a loss on route to go

Intermittent problems are always a lotta fun....... Trying to troubleshoot something, that isn't happening, is impossible. You can 'guess', but, that's it. More often than not, you guess wrong.

Job hazard.

Best I can suggest is to keep some diagnostic tools in the truck.... scanner, if you have one, volt meter, and fuel pressure gauge. Next time it doesn't wanna start, see what you can figger out.
