Question help again!!

We tried everything that i was told to try and its still not wanting to go...this is really confusing but i spoke with a instructor up at the college here in town and he said that it may be the batteries because they seem like they dont have enough in them to keep the engine running...it doesnt really make sense to me but i dont know what else it could be i've tried the feul filter and the camp and i was just wondering if anyone had any other ideas...and i found i have bad water pump so thats something else i have to chg out but if anyone has any other info for me i would very much appreciate it

If the batteries are weak at all they can cause starting problems. It can turn over what seem to be good and still not start. Wouldn't hurt to have them checked.

like stroker said, best to rule out the battries although since the truck is still starting and running for a bit(right?) I doubt thats your problem. 1 weak or bad battery would more likely cause a no start situation as once the truck is running the alt should take over. I lean more towards fuel problems, did you check the fuel bowl after it dies to see if there is fuel in it? Did you check the fuel pressure from the lift pump? Please describe exactly what you have fixed or replaced so far and what effects if any they made. I'm sure we'll figure it out eventually
