What was the code you got? There are some relays, mass airflow sensor, purge valve that could be considered as secondary circuits. How is the engine running?

If it's a code 542, then it might not be a problem. I think that code can be set when the engine shuts down prematurely (i.e., a stall condition). It doesn't necessarily mean you have a fuel pump circuit problem.

If it's a 542 code and the truck is running fine, then clear it, drive around for a while, and see if it returns. Good chance it won't.

It was code # 543. The engine sputters and coughs at idle and seems to lack power. I have replaced fuel filter.

A secondary fuel pump problem normally means you have a wiring relay orproblem in the cicuit that powers the pump(s).
