just turning the key off and on a couple times will get the fuel system primed... I real curious to what your fuel pressure is. If you make it a habit of running low on fuel and with the given symptoms I wouldn't be surprised if you killed a fuel pump. See if your local part store has a fuel pressure gauge that they loan out or a cheap one to buy

 

I dont usually let it run low, and it never runs out I really hope this isnt it.... I really dont have the $300 for the part

 

im not sure if its possable, due to thread size, but did you put the fuel filtter in backwards?

 

$300 WOW

are you using a gold plated pump, get a walbro and be done

 

I dont think you can put it in backwards. But I made sure it went in the same way it come off...
I looked at AutoZone and it was $288...

 

get a walbro 255 and call it a day. Much cheaper and can flow more fuel than the stocker.

 

you can find factory fuel pumps for cheaper than that on ebay .

well?

 

Still sittin there. I bought a hoopty for now instead. I didnt wanna spend the money on the truck and then it be something else, and still be without a vehicle. This way I can let it sit and I have a dd when its fixed anyways

 

Ok, been on ship for a couple weeks, brother got under the truck and I turned the key. he can hear it turn on. So I start thinkin and talkin with a buddy who just gradutated from UTI and he suggested my cam sensor maybe even something to do with the PCM... Well I changed out the cam sensor and it didnt do anything, but now it will start to crank but it's a slow crank and the nothing. Every couple of times it'll make a sound for a split second like its gonna turn over but oterwise it'll just crank till the batt dies. Maybe my starter? This sucks!
