When I turn the key to start the truck a whizzing noise has started that I have been told may be the fuel pump or injector going out. The truck does not turn over easily now and I was told not enough gas is getting into the carbeurator for it to start quickly. Is it fuel pump or fuel injector and how much does it generally cost to get repaired including labor? Thanks.

Test the starter before replacing the fuel pump or injectors. Hard cranking and a whining noise can indicate a starter problem, so confirm the starter before spending money on fuel-system repairs.
