what sounds like a fuel pump problem but you want to change the cam instead?

Sounds like a cam position sensor.

Well hey, at least we now know which engine you have and don't have to guess! Troubleshooting a diesel is different than troubleshooting a gasser, and as well, since it could have been a 6.0 or a 7.3, troubleshooting is different between those two engines too.

Well, with the dearth of information, I'd have to say my first guess is a CPS too.
