What Joy!
Ah the joy filled life of an old truck owner. There's another piece of worn out gear there somewhere, you just haven't found it yet. Mine was the bendix gear on the starter - had that heavy awkward p o j out 3 times before bench test and close inspection revealed it.

I once had a small crack in an old fuel line give me fits for about 6 months. The old car would stall now and again, it would restart right away and I'd be good fro a few more weeks. Eventually it got worse and worse and sometimes wouldn't restart. I never could duplicate the problem in the driveway and guessed my way through replacing tons of parts (which was hard to do on my teenagers budget). Eventually I found a crack in a dried out fuel line near the gas tank that would let the fuel pump suck air now and again.
Sometimes its the little things that cause us so much trouble. Its easy to over diagnose and overlook the small stuff. Glad you found it
