well the first thing to do is to figure out if it's fuel or oil causing the now start( injectors run on oil pressure) when you have a no start and you try cranking it does your oil gauge more or does it stay at zero? if it stays at zero it's more then likely an oil issue. the dummy plugs are on your oil rail under the valve covers the plugs at the front are dummy plugs the ones in back actually supply oil they also have o-rings so you would have to check them also.
after I figured out there was a lack of oil pressure I would pull the sensor on the passenger valve and screw in a fitting and apply air pressure to find the leak( shop air is fine) once narrowed to a side I'd pull that valve cover or if coming from the stc fitting I'd pull the HP oil pump under the turbo

WELL THE TRUCK DOES START BUT ONLY WHEN THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING FOR AN HOUR OR SO. IT ALSO STAYS RUNNING AND WHEN IT GETS WARM IT WILL BOGG DOWN AND SHUT OFF AND THEN IT WILL NOT START BACK UP....

I've seen one pump go bad it's usually the fitting next to the pump or the the seals on the plugs or an injector
