Default Starting Problem on 2005 1500 5.7

Went to start truck today and it wouldn't. It cranks like normal but won't turn over. The engine light and the ETC light both stay on with key in on position. I tried the on/off/on/off/on with the key to see if it would show any codes. no codes, just the word "done" then back to odometer. Checked the fuel pump fuse and relay and they were fine. A local parts store let me borrow their diagnostic tool to plug in and see what codes were showing up it said 0 codes. It showed.
Monitors
5 inc
catalyst
Evap
02 sens
02 Htr
EGR
3 ready
misfire
fuel
comp

Two friends are saying fuel pump. After reading a bit online, I'm afraid it could be more or something else( maybe PCM). Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated as I am limited on funds and desperately needing my truck. Thank you

Does it have gas in it?If so, I believe there is a simple way to check the fuel pump at the rails.Try searching for specifics on that here.

i have a similar problem happening with my 2004 Hemi. It was having this problem about a year ago. i replaced the spark plugs, cleaned the throttle body, cleaned and tightened the grounds, and it seemed to go away. but its back, it just turns over but does not start. no codes either.
