Are you sure the fuel pump actually works?

The fuel pump has it's own fuse as well I believe. Check the manual, but it should be number 28. See if the fuse is fried.

Pull the pump and check you powers and grounds. Make sure you really have no fuel pressure.

I believe you can access the pump through the truck area. There is also a puel pump relay you might want to check.
