04 with 130k Does not matter if truck sits for an hour or overnight. Truck will crank then die after about 20 seconds. I pime it and it starts fine. This happens about once a week. Put a new fuel filter on and it still has the same problem.

check your fuel lines and make sure there is no holes in them. Also check the bleeder screw and water in fuel sensor to make sure they are tight and not leaking

I would agree. Also when you check the bleeder screw and WIF sensor, check the o-rings along with the main bodies, the o-ring can just get old or shifted and been cut when put back on, or the plastic could just be old and cracked.

Search for "Starts then Dies". lot's of posts on this subject. Vacuum leak somewhere most likely.

Check out the water in fuel sensor, if it isnt leaking, im going to say you need a new fuel filter housing, or a rebuilt.

Mine did the same thing a couple of years ago. Replaced the bleeder screw with a new one and it hasn't done it since.

Something is preventing fuel from getting pushed through the filter into the high press lines. Hole in one of the lines or a clog or pump issue.

I dont see any leaks around the filter housing, primer pump, bleed screw. Inspeced the lines, they look fine. It still only happens about once a week. When it doesnt start, you only push the primer about 4 times and it fires right up. Its not starving of fuel, I still have plenty of power. Im doing this to get an idea, my brother is helping me since Im currently deployed. I will be home soon so I can get my hands on it again.
