i have a 04 f250 5.4. with 100,000 every other week or so the truck wont start. It will start after 5 minutes or so. It happens when the truck is cold or warm. Brought it to the dealer and they find nothing wrong. Any ideas what to look for.

Well first off I'd check the battery cables and make sure they are tight and not loose and also you may want to check your starter cables ..
Loose battery or starter cables and cause all kinds of weird starting issues ..

Ah ok that sounds like a fuel problem or even a computer problem.
If you have changed your fuel filters and have had your fuel system maintained, then I would have to learn towards a possible computer issue..
