First thing to check for these symptoms on a 12 valve is the injection pump fuel return line. There is a flexible fuel return line from the injection pump to the firewall. This is a maintenance item on these trucks. The line becomes cracked from heat which lets air into the system when the truck is sitting. Makes it hard to start but runs fine once it is running.

The flexible line is not easy to get to or even easy to see. I do most of the work from the bottom side.

Larry B (Google it) has a marine grade replacement which lasts longer. The stock fuel line is generally good for 80-100K.
