6.0 trouble starting
I have a 2005 with the 6.0. It recently started loosing power and threw a code for a cam sensor so I swapped cam sensor. After that now it won't start all the time. If it does start I have to keep it above 1000 rpm to stay running, if I try to idle it the engine dies. No codes are showing now. Any ideas with what to look for next? Any help is appreciated.

I'd also double check the sensor install, they kinda snap into place. You can get it installed "crooked" so to speak and the bolt will tighten down. Also take a hard look at the connector for oil, pins pushed back and visible part of the harness for chafing.
It's also common to get codes for cam/crank sync with a lot of cranking and no start. That may have been what happened and the problem is elsewhere. That's the reson for the diag tool recommendation.
