Now we are getting somewhere. Did you use thermal grease with the new ICM? This is not the same as dielectric grease.
Why did you replace the original ICM?
Your old one should have been a gray colored Push-Start style version. Is the new one the same or the incorrect black color CCD style ICM?
When the truck will not run/start have you checked for spark?

Yes thermal grease its the gray one and i replaced it bc it went out and it has spark and gas going to the motor i checked the fuel pressure it is getting between 36 and 40 psi when you turn the key on but it acts just like its flooded when you try to start it after its warm if you let it sit for a hr or so it starts fine and i pulled the spark plug while it was warm they were gassed up so i know its flooding i just wanted to know if anyone has had this problem and could help narrow down the list for me

You stated "i pulled the spark plug while it was warm they were gassed up" Did you check for spark when the engine is warm? Perhaps the plugs are gas fouled because there is no spark?
