I have an 05 that had the same problem. Your 03 is different but is still a high pressure oil problem. Stand pipes ? Someone that is more familiar with your 03 will chime in.

Likely insufficient ICP due to leak in HPO system. If you have Scan Gauge II or other monitor check ICP numbers, verify above 500 psi.

If not above 500, begin leak testing. Use IPR air test tool and listen for leaks.

I had one do this randomly. I'd mess with stuff and think it was what I'd done that fixed it, and then it'd do it again a few weeks later. Finally figured out that it was wire chafing. I didn't figure out where because I sold the truck shortly thereafter, but whenever it'd do it, I'd just pull on the wiring harness in several places and it'd start up.
