Both batteries were replaced 3 weeks ago w/ optima reds.
Here is a question. Would a bad IPR cause the truck not to start? Also would a bad IPR cause the pump pressure to read at 150 psi or is there aq seperate test that can be run to verify that the pump itself is bad?
I ask that because when I asked if the IPR was bad the service advisor said that he did not know and that the tech said that the pump needed to be replaced and we should go ahead and replace the ICP too.

When My IPR was failing the engine got to where it would not start or I guess I should say, would not start without holding the accel. pedal all the way to the floor. I know that don't make sense because the pedal works off a wire. But for a couple of times before I got it replaced, that was the only trick I could do to start it, and even then, it ran very rough. It hardly had enough power to get it going. After I rebuilt the IPR, it ran good for about a hundred miles then started doing the same thing.
I don't know what holding the pedal to the floor did and I understand that being wire fed, it shouldn't have made a differance, but it did.

I would say that the dealer really wants your money. If they want you to replace the hpop and the two sensors that control it that would clear it up. But to me that sounds like they dont have a clue and are just throwing parts at it. My .02
