You need your own quality code reader, one that reads all 4 code families. It's the most important tool and the first tool to use on today's vehicles. Part store ''experts'' can not be relied on for scanning your truck. There are hundreds of codes, until all have been read and ''decoded'' every thing is just a guess.
Today's technician is not only a mechanic but also a detective.

Basics first. get fuel pressure readings at idle and accel and while driving. Get a gauge that has long enough extension that allows for the gauge to be taped to w/s or get a Tech 2 that allows you to monitor pressure while driving.
