I have seen the fuel pump go out which is common in these trucks, which will get you these codes and stop the engine from running.

P0171: System Too Lean (Bank 1)
P0174: System Too Lean (Bank 2)

Please go over this video to show you how to use starting fluid which can confirm the fuel pump failure.

Here is how to change the fuel pump out. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
