I had somebody change the fuel pump because I was told it was the fuel pump that was going bad. What happened was when I drove to the store and went shopping, came back out truck wouldn't start. It sat for about 2 and 1/2 hours started up just fine drove home didn't think anything of it, went to get in at the next day would not start. Waited a few days started right up and so on and so on, then went to come home again would not start for 2 days then it started drove home, so it sat there. I had the fuel filter changed, the relays changed and checked the fuses checked and they were all okay. So, I had a mechanic friend get another fuel pump, put the fuel pump in and after he was done started up and it ran then I looked under the truck and saw that it was leaking gas everywhere. Well, he forgot to put the gas line back in, so he had just come back tomorrow and do everything all over again. The truck started after he was done turned it off. I paid him he left went to get in the truck to leave nothing even drain the battery bought a new battery still wouldn't start. So, then he came back with another fuel pump put it in and just as I was looking out my window, I saw he added starting fluid in the engine and it started up. I turned it off turned it back on started up. It sat for a little bit would not start. So, what could it be? It's costing me an arm and a leg does it need another fuel pump? I'm about ready to sell it because I'm sick of not having a vehicle. Any ideas? Can anyone help grandma that doesn't know that much about trucks? Thank you much.
