Hello, can you hear the pump run for a few seconds, when first turn the key on, no crank? Can you check fuel pressure? With the engine cranking, is there an injector spray pattern, spark at the plugs? Can you check for codes?

I had (and am having) the same problem with mine..try unhooking the map sensor(looks like a little black box on the left side of the throttle body facing the truck) it has a 3 wire plug and a vacume line hooked to it. unplug either the plug or the vacume line and see if it will start..thats as far as ive gotten so far on mine. replacing it didnt help either.
