First off Welcome to FTE. Now when it won't start is it cranking? Do you get a WTS (what to start) Light? If all this is taking place I would check your PCM (Power Control Module) Relay I thank it is up under your dash in your truck???. Check and make sure your battery connections are clean and tight.

My truck was the exact same....I tried the cleaning procedure for the IPR and it lasted a week or so...I had to buy a new one. Not bad at all to change it. I would think the solenoid around the regulator wears with the vibration of the engine over the years and becomes intermittent. Just a thought.
