Happens every 2 weeks or so. Truck turns over fine but takes several attempts to start with 10-15 seconds of cranking. Once it starts I have to keep my foot on the gas because it dies when idling. After a few minutes of this it runs fine.

Check your IAC (Idle Air Control Valve). Also inspect your EGR valve. Check your fuel pressure should be in the range of 25-35PSI. Make sure your fuel filter is not clogged. Check spark plugs and wires

Any time the computer loses power it has to go threw a set of things to Learn how to run the car, it must go threw relearning process sometimes they never set all flags because you don't drive in conditions to set a flag, for example if you are in the desert and never drive up a hill like in Colorado then you would never meet that flag requirement, as for the low voltage it seems that the ASD shorts out on these rigs and sets the codes so you have to do a pin out of the computer to see if you have a bad ground a bad asd or asd relay and you would have to charge your battery to full capacity and do a voltage test and a load test on the battery and then see if the alternator is putting out.. Check the battery and charging system first.

Also, it only happens after I've driven the truck then let it sit for a few minutes (Home Depot runs)
