Re: won't start after new fuel pump installation

did the truck run the tank dry or did you drain the tank manually? If you were driving along and ran it empty, there should be a bleed port on the fuel injection rail that looks like a valve cap on your wheels. Turn the key on and off 3-4 times then push the valve core to bleed off excess air in the system. You will get some fuel spitting out also. It may take 4-5 times doing this but eventually all the air will be out of the system and it will stay running on it's own.

I was just thinking while I was typing this, this procedure is if you have TPI. If you have TBI, I'm not totally sure how to bleed those. You might try looking for the same valve cap type of deal to bleed air. Hope this helps some.
