Interesting. Is any of these things going to show up on a computer diagnosis check?

Not the fuel pump. The crank sensor, maybe.

Code reading only identifies areas of failure, not the part failure. Diagnostics will confirm part failures with the proper test equipment.

Okay, then that indicates ECM is not getting a signal from the crank sensor. I would start there as it is a cheap part and easy to replace.

Nope, simple. Go under the truck and on the passenger side of the harmonic balancer is the sensor. One connector, one bolt and out it comes.

As I stated and sent a picture, it is outside the oil pan. It is mounted on the block next to the harmonic balancer. It has a connector that has to be removed and one hold down bolt.
