Sounds like maybe another Camshaft Position Sensor? Ordering mine after the weekend from International for $85.90. Look up the searches on CPS and see if it relates to the problem you have. I also have the '99 PSD. (sig)
Any other ideas anyone?

Could I need another? The truck has 57000.

It's possible that you need anothe cps, but a more likely cause would be a bad connection at one of your wiring harnesses at the valve cover. It might be as easy as checking the connections on the outside of the valve cover, where the wires connect to the valve cover gasket. It could also be one of the connections inside the valve cover, where the internal wiring harnesses connect to the injectors and glow plugs.
