Default 07 chevy duramax 2500 problem starting

A couple weeks ago. I drove my truck to Home Depot. Went inside, grabbed my stuff and came back out. Truck wouldn't start. I squirted a little bit of eather it fired right up. I've had no other problems till yesterday. I stopped at a stop sign and my truck died. I can't get it to start.. Anyone know how to help??

When it was running how did it run under a load ? When is the last time you changed the fuel filter? Does it even try to fire or just cranks?

I'm gonna go with cam position sensor. Sounds completely identical to the problem my dad was having with his power stroke

I have more info on this.. I've been letting my neighbor use the truck to go back and forth to work.. I found out that they have been running the full tank low, and then throw 10 to 15 dollars of fuel in when it gets pretty much dry.. A ? Is, if I change the fuel filter. Will it or does it reset that sensor
