I'd also make sure that your alternator is charging properly too. Remember to replace both batteries at one time, not just one...

I say CPS as well.
Either they work or they don't.
Engine won't run without it.

I changed the CPS out and it's running good; started right up, idled well, revved well, etc. I'll be taking it out for a good drive in a while to really test it.

And I'll check the charging system just to be sure.

Thanks for all the help!

So glad you found the problem. I will repeat though. My truck ran fine on dry and sunny days. If it rained and I went through a lot of water, the truck would shut down. Water getting pasted the CPS seals will shut er' down (which happened the first time when the wife was driving it) I thought that she was nuts for being upset at my 'baby', because she just did not 'understand' her..... Then it happened to me going 70 mph..... OMG......

Hello, I'm new here, but I didn't see anyone mention in this thread that there was a recall on those CPS's. That is the first place to look, and sometimes when one sensor is bad, it will throw other codes during your crank and no-start experience. IDM and PCM relays can also cause intermittent no-starts, just for future reference.
