might be the relay for the fss (fuel shut-off solenoid) might be the blue fuse-able link, might be the fss itself. there could be other problems but I would start here.

Yes, I would look at the fuel shutoff solenoid. It may be in the up or run position allowing the truck to start and run but drop due to a weak solenoid or hitting a bump etc. You can wire it in the up position to verify this.
