truck will not start

I have a 2006 6.0 4x4 diesel. Last Thursday night I drove home from work on a full tank of diesel. 93 miles from work to home with no problems. Before I get home I stop at target to buy some things. When I go to leave my truck will not start. It will crank but would not start the engine. I tried six times. I call AAA to tow my truck to the dealer. The dealer gets the truck the next day and it starts. The dealer could not find anything wrong with truck. I pick up the truck on Saturday and drive home. My question is what happen. Was it trapped air, dirt in the fuel line or something else. I change my fuel filter every 15,000 miles.

I believe this sounds like the problem with the snap to connect fitting on the high pressure oil pump. It leaks when the engine is hot, and causes a no start condition. Once the engine cools off it starts fine.

Go down to the 6.0L forum like swaybar suggested though and try to get a second opinion as I'm not 10% sure I'm remembering this right.
