Default Running problem with 6.5 diesel

I have a 95 k1500 4x4 with a 6.5 turbo diesel it has a little over 79,000 miles on it..The problem im haveing with it is it will run for only 8 -12 seconds and it only has throttle responce when first started for a couple seconds then idles for another 10 seconds and dies.It had DTC 54 which is a internal fuel fault in the PCM so I replaced it with a new GM one..Also replaced the fuel filter ,Lift pump and the sending unit ..And the truck still has the same problem..I hope some one has some kinda idea!! Thanks for any kinda help!

You might also check for cracks in fuel lines and hoses, even cracks/holes in vacuum lines can cause running problems.
