Thanks guys....I did check all the threads for wiring but not much around, greatly appreciate the time.....I hade to jump start my truck after standing for 3 weeks, I went to the shops and after that it wouldn’t start again, battery, fuses, relay, switch are ok....no pressure at the rail so I'm guessing the pump gave up or seized after the long no start......

If you can not read the diagram I posed above just email me and I will email you one you can read.
My email address is at the bottom of this post.

Sorry I don't, I ended up pulling the tank and changing the fuel pump, I do have the service manual, what is it you need?

So I'm doing the same as you had mentioned! I swapped my efi back to carbureted... And she starts for a min if I prime up the fuel line by cycling the key a few times, but when the line goes dry she's done. The pump isn't staying on after it starts! So I'm wondering how you hard wired the pump,
​​​​​​and or how to solve this problem?

Fuel pump wiring info

Do you have this diagram? I printed one out, I think it was this one, basically just the wire colors for the front and rear and what they went to. I can't find my print out. When I returned the diagram is no longer available. I know this is from 2009 so you may not have your original. Thanks, Stephen.

It should have power on it for one second when the key turned on.
The black wire is a ground.

Here is a diagram if you have two tanks.
