Most likely the electronic fuel distributor module. Its a black box fixed to the side of the fuel distributor on the 6.5 TD. The problem will normally get worse until at some point the vehicle wont start at all. This is a common problem on these and is fixed by mounting a new module in a remote location away from the pump. The heat kills the module. Replacement module and extension harness with heat sink will run a few hundred dollars, but don't let anyone sell you on a new fuel distributor($1400) until you confirm that it's not the module.
