1997 Chevy Suburban V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

The truck will not start just makes noice, battery is fine alternator is good, spark plugs are brand new, it is fuel injected and I do not smell any gas when turning the key to start it, and I am wondering if it is the fuel pump or the fuel filter is cloged.
please help!

Welcome, if it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it, while you check for spark at the plugs. If you have spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure. To check for spark, you can pull off a plug boot, stick a known good plug in the boot, ground metal part of plug against metal part of engine. Have helper crank it, while watch for spark the tip of plug.
