First, don't title your threads "Help" because almost every single thread in here is someone asking for help.

Second, you didn't bother to tell us a single thing about your truck. Year, model, engine, transmission, miles, condition, recent repairs, history, symptoms, etc. You also mention that you suspect fuel pressure is low but didn't post what the fuel pressure is - unless you're just guessing.

Did you put the fuel filter on backwords?

Does the "saddle tank" have a check valve in it to prevent fuel being pushed into it from the front tank?
