Answer
Hi Todd, You have done a lot to this truck and what you have done is no easy job!! The first thing I want you to do is test the fuel pressure. You need to have 58 to 65 PSI or it will not run. If this is good then you need to spray carb cleaner into the air intake and see if it will run for a couple of seconds.If you don't have good pressure, you need a new fuel pump. After you do this get back to me and let me know what happened.
