95 PSD wont start when hot

working on my 95 psd 4x4 dually auto. so i pulled into the gas station to fill up. filled the truck up and when i went to leave it would not start. had it towed to our shop to work on it. that same day i changed the fuel filter after the fact and still wouldnt start. let it sit over night and the next morning it fired right up. got it warmed up and shut it off and wouldnt start again. ordered seals for the ipr and bought a new cps. the next morning with motor cold i put the new cps in and changed the seals on the ipr. fired it up and i took it for a spin and it died on me on the drive , it shut off while coming to a stop sign , i couldnt get it fired back up , it didnt shrug or anything it just died as if i shut the key off.i have checked all fuses and unpluged the fuel bowl heater. what else could possibly be bad on it? were do we go from here? any help would be appreciated.

I would put it on a good scanner and monitor the HPOP pressure ...maybe you have a toasted injector o-ring....unless the IPR is NFG ...If you are getting 500 psi when cranking the truck should start...anything less you probably have a bad o-ring

I did forget to mention that prior to all this , sometimes when the engine was hot and I would go to start it would take a few extra seconds to start but it did. When starting cold it was no problem. But this only started happening like a week or 2 ago

Before you start it
