Drive axle CV going bad ?

I've used the Advanced Auto(AAP) lifetime warranty starters on alot of trucks. Only had one that bad, very noisy/grinding, after replacement. The starter itself was the noise issue, not the flywheel gear or starter bendix. Shimming the starter did not change anything. Benched the starter and...

Fuel pump check valve? It's in the fuel pump assembly. This will cause you to excessively "prime" the system with "key on, key off" before actually cranking engine. It's a costly "trial and error" fix. Hope it isn't that. OBD II doesn't catch all problems, all the time. It is good for a...

Wiring harness ? Sounds like you have done nearly all the cheap fixes so far.
