My truck will start right up first thing in the morning or after it has been sitting a while, but if I have been driving it and stop, when I come back out and go to restart it, it just turns over, like it isn't getting any fuel. If I let it sit for awhile, and the times vary, it will start right up again. I am at a loss for why this could be happening.

Hello, do some of the basic tests. Check for codes. When it refuses to start, have a helper crank it, while you check for spark at the plugs and injector pulse. You could also check fuel pressure.
