2001 24 valve HO no start

I have a 2001 24V Cummins powered Ram. It is the HO version, with 6-speed transmission. It has been running fine. In 2007 a Cummins dealer replaced the Cummins computer on the truck, as it quit running right, and virtually quit running. No problems since.

Two days ago I drove in the yard, stopped, and raised one window. It stalled. I cranked it, it started fine, I moved it forward a few feet and then shut it off.

The next day I got in it to go somewhere. It started fine, moved forward a few feet and than quit. It would not start. It cranks fine.

The truck still has the original lift pump and injection pump at 129,000 miles. In 2007 that original lift pump still tested good, as per the Cummins dealer. Obviously, I don't know about it now. My intentions for a long time have been to add a fuel pressure gauge, but I regret to say I have not yet done so.

I intend to look at the diagnostic information in the service manual and try to retrieve the codes. I have no sophisticated test equipment.

My general question is this: Do you have thoughts as to a strategy I should pursue to revolve this problem, based upon your experience.
