I concur. Pull the plugs and see if they're wet. If they aren't, then you know you're not getting fuel. Surely these trucks have an EFI fuse somewhere, check for that, then check the pump.

Efi...

Try swaping in an EFI that you KNOW is good.
I'd bet THAt is the culprit. Your symptoms sound alot like an issue I dealt with back when I reversed the polarity on my battery, thus frying my EFI.
New relay ($30) and she started right up.
No EFI = no 'send fuel' message from the on-board computer.
