94F1504x4 won't start!
It will crank and crank, but no start. I'm assuming its the fuel pump, I can't hear if its working (parked to real busy highway) Plenty of juice, brand new starter last month. If it is the fuel pump, is taking the bed off the easiest way to get to it? If not the fuel pump, any other possibilities?

Have someone turn your key on (without starting) while you stand close to the fuel tank. You should hear the fuel pumps cycle for a second or two. If not, the fuel pump relay could be out - that would be cheaper and easier to replace than a fuel pump. Have someone try to start the vehicle, and while they are cranking you can press the small pin in the schrader valve on the fuel rail on top of the engine to see if fuel is being supplied (it will squirt out if under pressure from the pump). Also, the ECM relay could be out, causing the vehicle not to start and run. Check your distributor rotor and make sure it is intact (mine came apart and I had the same problem - no starting but it would turn over forever) and that your ignition coil is firing. If your truck has a lot of miles it could have jumped time causing it not to start.

Have you pulled the codes? When mine did that, it was the coil. ~$30 for a lifetime replacement from CarQuest.
