Before you start it next time turn key on a few times to prime fuel pump if the truck fires up quick after that then its your fuel pump. If not then change the crank and cam sensor common failure doesnt always set a code.

Vote for bad fuel pump or air getting in through leak. Do you smell gas around/under it ever?

That's what I tried to tell them. They said with no driveability problems it's not the fuel pump. I told them with a 6 month old battery, it's not the battery and WTF would the instrument cluster have to do with it
ON TOP IF THAT, I had to leave it there as they ordered the cluster with the mileage so no more miles could be driven until they installed it. Thank God for the lifetime bumper to bumper warranty.
