Yes, the motor cranks when I'm trying to start. Belt, fan, alt, are all turning.

Yes, dash lights are coming on as usual when I try to turn it over (brake, service engine soon lights).

pull all your fuses just to be sure and check them i have found things i dident think were togeather tied in to different things.

,aybe check the voltage to the fule pump when you turn the key.
I'll try pulling all the fuses to see if any are blown. Is the fuel pump located on the frame rail forward of the gas tank or is it in the tank? Sorry for the noob question but this is my first FI truck. Every other one I've owned has been carbureted.

Thanks again for the help. --Don
 
Update...It's Alive

Ok, after about 2.5 months of troubleshooting, breaking studs off of gas tank straps, ordering new straps, and bad weather, the truck is running again. It was the fuel pump.

Man, how fun is dropping the gas tank by yourself? Not very. But when you turn that key and it kicks over it makes up for all of the work.
