check if there power going to the gas tank. you might have a corroded wire...also check the ground too!!

Does the fuel pump turn on when you have the truck on?

jump a wire from the battery to the "blue" fuel wire. look under the carpet close to the computer. when you do that listen to hear a hissing sound indicating that the fuel pump is working... if there is no noise try again at the top of the pump at the gas tank. check the ground for corrossion and while youre there bypass it too to bare metal. if it doesnt hiss your pump is toast!

Sweet baby jesus it’s ALIVE! I traced out the wires going to the fuel pump and found a bad connection, re-wired and BAM she started up.
Thanks for your help guys
