Moved to correct forum.
Welcome to FTE
You need to get a noid light to check for injector pulse. I would also check the fuel pressure to make sure it is 32-40psi at the shrader valve in the fuel line.

That would be it. There is no "bleeding" procedure required that I am aware of.

No bleeding. Just keep cranking it until it fires and you'll get the air out.
Is the fuel pump running for 2 seconds after you turn the key to on? If not, then you have an electrical problem.
I have no idea what you mean by "fuel is not getting to the throttle body". Your truck has multi-port fuel injection. It is a dry intake.

Like whats been said no bleeding. On the fuel rail, were you hook the pressure tester up, it will look like a tire nipple (like where you put the air in the tire, I can't think of its specific name)
