I have a 6.0 that has an intermittent problem it runs bad every now and then. Hard to start it takes three times before it will stay running. Now it is shutting down while it is running down hwy.

Sounds like your FICM (Fuel Injection Control Module) is just about to die. What year and how many miles on your truck. The factory FICM goes out at about 110,000, and up, miles. You can get a rebuilt FICM here: ficmfixer.com This site also shows how to check that the FICM is bad. Do the test for your self and you will know for certain.

I'd suspect the FICM also, did the tech check the voltage when he was under the hood?
