hmmm. we didn't establish any fuel pressure. Like Darin said (if he would just speak up a little
) it may very well be a pump. I KNOW you have fuel in the tank...RIGHT? Have you tried switching tanks and see if you pick up anything?

Tried switching tanks and nothing.
When we did have the fuel filter out of both trucks his truck was pumping approx the same volume as mine did until mine fired up
What can I check the fuel pressure with? I do not own a fuel pressure
gauge for either a gas or diesel

Why can't it be fuel if it starts on ether?
Where is the explanation of why the fuel just dribbled out of the test port when it was pushed in?
If we could just get a fuel pressure number, we could either eliminate it as a possibility or see if there is the problem.

Nope. He gave up and decided to take it to mechanic. When he talked to the mechanic about the truck he (mechanic) think it might be HPOP. But he is gonna hook up the diagnositic tool to it and be for sure.
