yes after I replaced the fuel pump and wouldn't start the first thing I did was check/replace the fuse , ( I also didn't put my truck bed back on yet if that has any effect on why it doesn't work :P ) so next step will be to get a volt test light , test the wire on the fuel pump or the fuel pump relay ? or both ? and thank you kevinkpk for your help

I connected a grounding wire from where u pour gas into the tank ,to the frame of the truck , I honestly didn't know that would make a difference , I connected the grounding wire from the one the comes out of the fuel pump to the frame but didn't think to connect the wire that was connected to the top of where u pour gas , next to the gas cap

then found out my alternator seized up , wouldn't turn , was wondering why the belt was screeching like crazy and started smelling burnt rubber when the truck was running lol found out it was the alternator my truck was sitting there all year outdoors , a friend of mine said its most likely rust due to the age of my truck , don't know what kind of work the previous owner did or how old the alternator is , but that's next on the list , change the alternator :P took it off the truck already , just need to get a new one and slap it on , then my truck should be good to go
