I just recently replaced the fuse block because it bascially melted together. I also replaced the fuel pump. The truck was operating fine for around 50 miles and then decided to quit. I can still hear the fuel pump coming on when the key is turned, I also checked all fuses. When I attempt to start it will crank but wont turn over.

Additional info: The truck recently had a crate engine put in. Not sure if they replaced the front main seal or not but I noticed it was leaking when the truck quit. I checked the oil and it was low. Is there a sensor that might need to be reset? Not sure if this has anything to do with the problem.

I need to know if it has spark or not? If there is spark then I need to know what the fuel pressure it. Also how old is the fuel filter? Get back to me and we will go from there.

Pulled a wire from the distributor cap and it has spark. Sprayed starter fluid in the Air filter hose and truck STARTED. Truck continued to run, not sure if the 15 degree decrease in air tempature (currently 31*) had an impact or not. I let the truck sit for an hour; start was successful, brought it for a 2 mile drive upto 50 MPH with no issues.

Not sure how old the fuel filter is but can guess it hasnt been changed in a while. I'm going to change that out today.
