OK after a lot of research I went out this morning and went to start the truck. I just turned the key to the on position so I could hear the pump fire up. It did twice in a row then didn't. At that time I tried to start the truck and nothing. I let it sit for a second turned the key and the pump ran so I went to start the pump and everything was fine.
So I'm down to the pump or the relay.....
Replace them both. Pumps go out more often than the relays
Well got a pump and filter and went to pull the bed off. 5 bolts took 5 minutes the last one 2.5hrs. The nut broke off of the self holder thingy mabob, so after a million attempts with locking pliers and finally gave up and cut it off. Now I just need to lift the bed and finish it.
IMHO it sounds electrical. Probably a relay if your anti theft system is mucking with it.
Usually I prefer to go in order of minimum cost. Which in your case would have been the relay first. It is probably only a couple bucks, but maybe it is the pump and all will be well.
I just had to replace the manifold gasket on my jeep. What a bitch that was. I got it done in about 2 hours. I know what you are saying about that last damn bolt, I had one that took about 45 minutes just to get started back in. It kept trying to cross-thread.
Do your fuel filter while you're at it!
