Problem started a year and a half ago, she has been sitting in my driveway for almost a year now unable to start at all now.

Replaced a bad fuel pump about 6 years ago, when the problem first started a year and a half ago we replaced the starter and battery. She would start sometimes, drive for a day or two and then she would turn over but not crank.

Replaced the starter again, she would again start up, run a few times and then the same problem. Now, she won't even turn over. Replaced another starter and put a new pump in, to no avail.

Anyone else have the same problem? Any ideas on where to turn next?

 

how about your batteries... you have to replace both of them together... check you grounds, and have your alternator tested.... I don't understand why you replaced your starter that many times.... there are alot of other issues that are more common that will prevent your truck from starting.... check your fuel lines to ensure your not losing prime to the injector pump... how frsh is your fuel... have you changed your filters lately?

 

I assume by "turn over", you mean the engine CRANKS. I assume by "crank", you mean the engine RUN. So, you turn the key, the engine cranks, but it won't run. If this is what you mean... you wouldn't replace the starter if it's able to crank the engine. If it will crank, but won't start, you should check to see if it's getting fuel. That is, test for fuel pressure.

 

You would most likely have a check engine light for this, but it could do what mine did and clear its self out but keep it stored. also mine did not have the symptoms others describe for it just a code, try cleaning or replacing the crank position censor. you can even search for it and see how to check the sensor and wiring to see if its even getting the correct voltage. if theres nothing wrong with the fuel delivery id check there its even a cheaper part to replace.

 

if you're still having the issue you need to narrow it down between electrical or fuel issue.

Electrical- start at the batteries, test them, check your grounds, starter relay, ignition , starter solenoid, and finally the starter, be sure the check and clean EVERY connection, if you have a volt meter you can even test everything for proper output.

fuel- check the lift pump, check for prime and if it's holding prime, check pressure during start up, change filter, check for water in fuel after sitting that long, make sure you have fuel pumping to every cylinder by crack the injectors one at a time with the fuel pump running

 

When you say you replaced the pump, I'm assuming you mean you replaced your lift pump. If your lift pump was going out to the point of your truck not starting, you probably fried your injection pump. Do what they suggested - check your fuel and electrical systems. Disconnect and load test both batteries separately, check all of the connections for corrosion and tightness, then test your fuel system. Make sure you've got good pressure coming from the lift pump. It might be a good idea to replace the overflow valve if the lift pump pressure checks out.

It really sounds like you should probably have your truck towed into a shop though, as it doesn't sound like you're going to have the tools/experience to do advanced diagnostics.
