Only thing I have heard is that if the truck wont start, and you cant roll start it, Pour a glass of cold water on the pump, and then try it.

Do yo have the P0216 code. I've had that one for quite some time now. Onhe thing you may want to do is start running some biodiesel. I have been running b100 as much as possible. Even b20 will help keep the vp44 healthier than ULSD (IMO). Right after I started running the ULSD, all kinds of problems showed up in my truck. I've had none with the bio.
