Hello, I'm Danny.
Your fuel pump might not be working. It sounds like you might have a weak or failing fuel pump not providing adequate fuel pressure. I would suggest performing a fuel pressure test. Here is a tutorial showing what is involved:

After performing this test get back to us with the results and we'll go from there. I've attached a picture below showing the proper fuel pressure for your truck. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
