Having the same problems on and off since October!

Okay, I'm real fed up here. Since my original post, my truck has been on its own program with the 'not wanting to start all of the time' thing... Sometimes, the truck start great, no issues, and other times, it doesn't start. Often in the same day... Seems to happen randomly. I've been paying attention to the weather here lately and it hasn't been changing enough to affect the performance of the truck. No one else that I know with diesels has had any issues with their trucks either.

Sometimes it wont start and a day or two late it will with absolutely no problem. (Starts right away), then there are times when it doesn't start for a week at a time. Now, my truck hasn't started in 2 and a half weeks. She cranks just fine, get RPM and oil pressure, she just wont start. Not the starter, not the battery. Both fuel pumps are delivering enough fuel, I have the correct amount of oil, correct filters, brand new air filter, ect... One time it was the air filter that fixed the problem, another time it was the fuel filter. It seems sooooo random. I drained the fuel pumps, still nothing

I hooked up and OBD-II...... NO CODES!!!!!! Idk what to do and I really can't afford to bring it to a mechanic. I'm probably going to run over the part store and throw in a new fuel filter and see what that does... It's the same problem every time and different components fix it each time. It's very frustrating. And the thing is, when she does start, she runs GREAT! No sputtering, no hesitation, no power loss, nothing like that. Sound like an electrical problem to me, but I really don't know where to start.

Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks!
