Did you check your muffler bearings? What about your halogen fluid? If you can't get the cap off the flux capacitor, use a wrench stretcher. They sell them at (Generic auto parts store name) for like $(random number).
Good luck! Come back for any more questions!

But first I replaced the starter, but that didn't work. So I replaced the solenoid. But t burned up, so bought another. I don't think it burned up, but we'll see.
I also replaced the battery because it looked dirty. Then I got a new key made figuring it was worth a shot. Still won't start.
So, my uncle and younger cousin figured we could push start it UP a hill, to get the engine to fire.
No luck, plus now I need to replace the rear bumper after it rolled 200 yards backwards.
Took all day to get the truck pushed back into the driveway.
Replaced the battery cables and the battery again, you know just in case.
Went ahead and replaced the starter again, it was under warranty so no biggie.
I thought maybe my truck wouldn't start because it is painted orange. So I painted the truck Ford Blue to really give it a kick.
Replaced the solenoid again and the ignition switch.
Then I realized something...
I just needed to turn the key to START to actually start the engine!
Duh!
Oh well, it was fun.

that was my next guess, too. either that or he had the white walls of the tires pointed south east when mounted, so they had a curse from the get-go, causing the fuel pump to shut off at random points. my next recommendation would have been a full on exorcism, complete with pea soup colored vomit, a crazy priest, and another priest (second one being John Constantine, otherwise, the exorcism is useless). glad you got it running, Josh!

Did you do compression test on the engine after you purged out all of the summer air and replaced it with winter air? I've had that problem before...
