I'll find out tomorrow evening after I get off work. I haven't seen the mother loving truck since Sunday. It's still sitting where it fell dead @.

I'll listen for the pump prime when I hit the acc-key on switch.

So, the fuel pump primes and it has fuel. There is NO code being thrown from the OBDII port. It just won't fire.

Suggestions, besides paying an entity 125$ to put it on their diagnostic computer and tell me definitively what's going on w/ it (hopefully)? I'd rather save and fix myself, if possible.

Ignition switch? Does it turn over, just not fire up? Everything else work, electrically?

(YouTube mechanic here, so take it all with a drop of mud)

It turns over. It just won't fire up. All electrical lights during ignition come on.

I'm changing out the fuel pump Friday earliest. And then I'll go from there.

I'm tossing darts at the wall here, but that sounds a lot like a YouTube video I watched, where it was diagnosed (and fixed) as the ignition switch. Something I would have completely never thought of. It would crank, and everything else electrically worked the way it should, it just wouldn't fire up. It might be something to look into. It looked like some quick and easy troubleshooting if you are not entirely sure it's the fuel pump.

Changed the fuel pump earlier today and floored it afterwards.

It runs like it did when I bought it w/ 4700 miles on it. Not bad for a truck w/ 218,000 miles on it. Appreciate the lending ear, guys.

Glad you got it fired up again.
