6.0 Loses power and shuts down but will restart

I have a 2007 F350 6.0 Diesel. Truck starts and runs great for about 10 miles and then loses power and slows down til it dies, it does this without any kind of warning and does not rattle or anything. If i let it sit for about 15 min it will start right up and drive fine for another 10 miles or so and do the same thing.

It did the same thing in December but would not restart at all and the ficm was the cause at that time so i went ahead and replaced the ficm just to eliminate it. I also replaced the fuel pump and the ipr and icp valves are good. The only engine code has to do with the fuel level sensor and that has been on for a year. The egr was recently replaced, the hpop is putting out the psi that it is supposed to and there are not any internal air leaks.

Appreciate any advise on what to check next.

Do you have a device to read the live data?
Need the values for ICP and IPR when this happens.

Might have a air leak in the fuel line or the drain plug. Have you checked the fuel pressure when this happens or the upper fuel bowl to see if its full?
