My truck was parked for 3 days on an uphill incline. Its ran flawless for 2 years now. This morning it started an then Died. Haven't had any luck since! I can get it started by priming, and even ran it for 10-15 min.'S this way. Thinking I just lost pump prime somehow?The truck has a near 3/4 tank of gas? Any help would be appreciated!

There is no priming for these pumps. They prime themselves instantly. You need to use a fuel pressure gauge to determine what is happening. It sounds like the pump is barely working if at all.
