Response:
Well the problem you having sounds like your fuel shut-off soleniod- this soleniod is located near the side of your bosch fuel pump on the engine.
the problem is when you turn the key the solenoid is supposed to retract and allow fuel to flow into the pump for startup and running. The soleniod is too weak and is loosing strength to retract the rod making it hard to start your engine- My suggestion is to check both your batteries for propper output and then go towards the source. the soleniod is discontinued you;ll have to buy a new version of this solenoid im talking about -the kit usually runs about 400 bucks out the door,but if your lucky you can find a used one and try it out .
I have the same exact year truck and have already gone through this problem . if u have any questions call my phone at 954 -554-8250
