If you are saying you have a no start when warm..You may need to replace the IPR o rings ...The best bet would be to Check ICP ,either with a scanner ,or a guage setup ...Could be an injector o ring or a poppet issues also ...

The IPR O ring can be verified just by removing & looking at it...

remember not to turn on the glowplugs when you put that either crap in there. if you do it causes preignition and causes damage i dont even want to think about.
i would agree with action replace the IRP or you have a bad injector.
some one told me to check for bad o-rings on your injectors you start the truck, get it warm and then pull out or fuel filter. if the fuel is dirty there is a bad o ring? dunno if its true or not but some one else will chim in.
