My truck will start half of the time and the other half it wont. Battery, starter, solenoid, alternator, fuel pump, and fuel filter is all good. It has spark, and there are no check engine lights on. Starts right up if I pour a little bit of gas in the top but other than that its a craps shoot. I disconnected cleaned and reconnected all of the connections that I could see on top of the motor. Need some help

You say the fuel pump and filter are good. Have you change them recently. The reason I ask this is that my 95 ran fine then started to act like your. I was over 100 miles from home and stopped to get something to eat. When I tried to start it it would not start used starting fluid and it ran for a minute then conked out. Found the fuel pump went bad. I would check the fuel filter first, even though it looks good. With it starting when you use gas in the top then the problem wopuld be with getting fuel.
