I ran my truck out of gas right at the pump and once it was fueled it would not fire.. if I held the gas pedal down it would start to catch but never fully fire.
I get the truck home, change the fuel filter thinking I just got something plugging it up, but with the new filter it does nothing. Any ideas other than fuel pump?? I don't see how running out of gas would trash my fuel pump.. any ideas?

Additionally.. when I turn the key on all I hear by the fuel pump is a click and I have checked the relay.. it is fine.. so looks like the fuel pump aye?

The gas in the tank helps cool the fuel pump .Pour the gas out of your old fuel filter. If fine black particles come out its probably your fuel pump. You should hear the pump run for a few seconds when you turn the key on.
If you dont hear it check the fuse,
www.autozone.com has instructions for removing the fuel pump.

the truck is fuel injected. If you floor it while starting it actually disables the ignition system to prevent it from starting. The fuel filter should not be the problem. You need to make sure the fuel pump is supplying proper pressure. Running a tank empty puts a severe strain on a fuel pump. If you have filled the tank up and can hear the pump run, keep cranking the engine and it should start. It might take a minute of cranking but it should start as long as you have fuel pressure. Just don't even touch the gas pedal. That's what fuel injection is for!

If your truck was surging, like it was out of fuel before this happen, then its you fuel pump. That happen to my car one time. I thought it was also the fuel filter. Normally that is what you change first. take it to a garage and they can test your fuel pump

A: remove gas cap to relieve pressure from the tank B: put a catch pan to catch any gas ( and there will be excess fuel in the line) C: remove the bolt holding the fuel filter to the body D:The in and out fuel lines do not have clamps or bolts they have these horrible clips that need to be depressed then the hose pulled off. E:before you remove them be sure you have determined the in and out flow of the new filter. and slip the new on as fast as possible, there will be a flow of fuel F: reverse removal installations
