My 6.5 TD intermittently won't start. Since it had the original lift pump and oil pressure switch ('98 Suburban with 123K miles), I replaced both the LP and the OPS. It ran fine for a few days, then cranked fine but wouldn't start. A couple of days later, it started, but again, today, it won't. Any ideas?

check all your connections. I would start with that. It doesn't take much at all to keep your truck from starting. Both batteries, and the starter. Good luck

Make sure the shutoff solenoid is at least clicking, and read the codes...
