Won't Start
Drove my truck yesterday and everything was fine. Tried to start it this morning and it won't. It turns over fine and seems like it almost catches, but just won't start...any ideas? Thanks in advance.

The past two times I've filled my tank, the fuel gauge didn't register correctly and showed only about a quarter of a tank. After driving for awhile, it eventually registered correctly. I'm thinking I may have a bad fuel pump.

Normal for fuel gauge to read wrong when the key is on acc.position.Wife turns the radio on when I am filling up just to **** me off. Thinks it funny after putting $75 and its still at halve full mark.

Thanks to all who tried to help. I was certain it was not a fuel filter problem, but since it is about time, I replaced them this morning. Truck still doesn't start and, since the upper filter cannister is full of fuel, I guess it may be the HPOP. My next action is to have it hauled to the dealer for repair and then to start looking for a new truck.
I only have about 75,000 miles on this truck, but I don't have enough confidence in it to put it on the road towing my fifth wheel.

good deal and even found a cheap mechanic Id be keeping it
I beleive 30%-40% of all the bad that we hear is from dishonest mechanics taking advantage of people changing parts
