Dodge Truck Fuel pump Problem

I am not getting fuel to the fuel pump. I have replaced fuel pump and can get fuel to the bottom of pump by siphoning line by mouth but when i try to start truck no gas gets past the fuel pump. It doesn't act as though the fuel pump is working even though it is a new pump?
