Died during rush hour and I still can't start it.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I am willing to bet its the fuel pump, go ahead and change the filter it is good practice to replace it at the same time as the pump anyway. With the fuel sending unit problems many see I would question whether the tank is maybe empty even the guage doesn't indicate it. If it is empty look on the bright side it will be easier to get the the tank out, although on a pick up I would lift the bed its quicker. Let us know what you find.

I would be willing to be fuel pump/filter as well. As stated, check your pressure at the rail.

Unfortunately, it sounds like it might have ran low on oil and the bearings are seized up.
Time for a stroker engine!

no real need for a gauge...turn key on, do you hear pump whining? Leave key on, push the shrader valve (tire valve stem looking thing) on the rail...use a rag to protect your face. If it sprays all over, you're good on fuel. If not, it's the pump. I've only seen a couple pumps fail while driving...normally car just won't start in the morning. Once its pumping, usually keeps going until you shut it off.


Could be a cam/crank sensor as well...those will NORMALLY throw a code, try renting a obdII scanner from local autoparts store (if you have fuel and it still won't start)

i doubt that it's the fuel filter, because i change that regularly. I pressed the shrader valve in and NOTHING, absolutely nothing..... soooo fuel pump?? oh, and the only codes i had were for my upper O2s, but I've had those for a while now.

How long had the truck been sitting? Is this with the key on?
