Please run down this guide and report back.

If something failed it will be stored in the computer sensor wise. and yes check for spark it should be very big and blue, stick a screwdriver in it and don't put your hands on the wire because of shock.

To really see if it's a fuel pump you'll have to put a gauge on it, maybe Oreillys will have one to rent your fuel pressure should be 41-47 psi if below that then fix that an it will probably start. By the way best and easiest way to fix pump is if you have helpers around take the box off, there are only 8 bolts and a electrical connection to remove. You don't need to take it right off just slide it back so you can reach the pump in the tank, otherwise you have to drop the tank, much harder to do.

You'll need help to lift the bed if you are going to do it that way. and the aftermarket pump may be just the pump and not the complete sending unit. if it's just the pump you have to take the old one apart and replace that. if its' a unit you just take the old one out and put the new unit in and hook everything up. you'll need a special tool to remove the fuel lines you may be able to do this in 2 hours , maybe sooner depending on your ability. to remove lines, push towards the pump, insert tool and remove line.

Here is a ugie that will walk you through the steps with diagrams below to show you on your car.

Ecm b fuse is an orange wire that powers pcm check for a short someplace or it may be a bad pcm as well. But have a pro check for the pcm problem

Hi there,

If the engine is running and you can't select forward or reverse, I would say with the grinding noise you mention, that your transmission of differential has suffered a major failure, I would be towing it to a work shop for an appraisal.

Drawing of wiring don't show what you want they are just straight line then they say where the connections are yours would go to junction box on firewall then to ignition switch. But you should check where it motor is hitting and fix mount if it' hasn't been already.

The wiring diagram below is part of your starter circuit.

Have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs. If you have spark everywhere use a gage and check fuel pressure. To check for spark, you can use a spark tester or known good spark plug. Don't pull a spark plug out of engine. Your local autostore should sell a spark tester, doesnt cost much. Pull spark plug wire off engine spark plug, stick tester in plkug boot, ground tester to metal part of engine. Have helper crank, watch for spark at tester. Make sure the tester gap is open.
