Crank but won't run!! stranded

Need some advice guys! problem is on my 2005 not the 2001 in my sig. sorry. not updated yet.
I was plowing snow at 3:00 this morning and the truck was running fine for an hour or so. It is 19 degrees out. I put some fuel in it last night without putting additional additive in. i still had a 1/4 tank with power service in it and added another 1/4 tank. It was runing fine sputtered once and just died. i put 911 in it and waited half hour or so. i was able to bump the starter a few times to run LP and it started for 15 secs and died. it has a TS MP8 on it and two days ago I plugged a Bullydog downloader in for 5 miles or so, put it back to stock and it ran fine. I probably put 10 miles on it before going to plow snow.

Thanks in advance

Justin

I don't know if this will help but, mine did this once. I just pulled the Negative Battery cables off for 10 minutes. Reconnected and all was fine.
Not saying it will work but worth a try.

No Start. Actual Fuel (Rail) Pressure Is Low. May have fuel system related codes such as P0148 or P0251, or No Codes.;The Actual Fuel Pressure (AFP) reading on the appropriate diagnostic scan tool is: erratic, varies more than 1000 psi, or the AFP reading may be low while cranking (less than 3000 psi). Make sure the batteries are properly charged and a battery charger is being used to maintain the battery charge during testing. Minimum cranking speed should be above 180 rpm. Reference TSB 14-003-06 revision A. Fuel supply flow volume and quality is good. Greater than 590 mL (20 oz) in 10 seconds. The high pressure pump output volume is greater than 70 mL (cranking the engine for three 10 second cycles). There is no fuel flowing from the Pressure Limiting Valve while cranking the engine. While cranking the engine for two 15 second cycles (30 seconds total), return fuel flow from the high pressure pump is less than 500 mL. While cranking the engine for two 15 second cycles (30 seconds total), return fuel flow from the injectors should less than 20 mL.
System or Component No Start,Engine Cranks;14-003-06;Customer Concern (No DTCs);Group 14 - Fuel System,Group 18 - Vehicle Performance / Driveability;Yes - Continuously;Fuel Pressure Low
Recommendation Using tool #9011, cap off each port of the high pressure manifold (rail) and try to start the engine. If the engine starts, remove and inspect the High Pressure Connector Tube and the injector from the capped off cylinder. Inspect for any loose or damaged connections. If necessary, replace the effected parts. If the total injector return is greater than 70 mL while cranking the engine (two 15 second cycles), it may be necessary to replace all six injectors
