No start two different situations

So, drove the truck around all day for work and parked it in the garage for the evening. Got up to go to the river and it would turn over all morning but wouldn't start. Changed the fuel filters just on case but still the same. Had it towed to the shop on a roll back and it started for the mechanic the next morning. Took the truck back and drove it for a few days until today when it wouldn't start again after driving around all morning. Got the truck towed again and it started for the mechanic after they got it off the truck. !!! So, there are no codes and it has done this with the engine hot and cold but started both times after being towed. Mechanic says he needs it not starting to figure out what's wrong with it which is a little difficult since it always starts for him..haha. any ideas? Thanx in advance f250 6.0

Sounds like a loose electrical connection somewhere.

Loose connector creating an intermittent problem. I had the same issue with a loose cam sensor pigtail.

Need gauges to see what is off during a no start. Mine showed with a cam/crank no sink .
