I was experiencing similar problems recently and was thinking complicated.
2000 7.3L F-250 4x4....Yesterday i went out to troubleshoot etc. Symptoms were truck would crank but not fire up. Couple days before I used a jump box to the primary battery (twin batts) on the pax side and it fired up. Tried yesterday without jump box and again it just cranked but not fire. So once again w/ the jump box and voila! fired up. This told me had to be battery related. So before pulling to replace, or going after a CPS, I just simply took off the cables and cleaned both them, and the terminals. it subsequently started quick and strong no problem several times over. Problem fixed.
With that being said, I think the batts are probably the originals (bought used) and I will be looking to replace them sooner rather than later for GP going into the winter.
...still wrestling with an intermittant heater vent directional flow issue where it more often than not, defaults to the defroster. That's another post though.

Was the o-ring simply torn?
