While driving on the freeway (after 1 month of sitting), the engine began sputtering. Put in fuel additive and seemed fine. Drove home, the next day truck won't start. Looked in manual and can hear the fuel pump making noise however it sounds as though it wants to start but won't. No check engine light is on. Battery is fine, starter is fine. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Merry Christmas :)

Start with the basics, and work your way up, Last tune up was? Wires plugs ALL filters? If all that is ok, check for a stuck EGR, then test fuel pump pressure, If it won't restart, determine what's missing, the engine needs three things to run, Spark at all plugs, gas to all cylinders, and compression in all cylinders, tho an engine may run lacking one in one cylinder, it won't run very well!
