your lift pump probably crapped out. Air Dog and Fass both make great aftermarket lift pumps.

The fuel gauge may not be right. I'm empty when my gauge says I've got a half tank. So I would suggest adding some fuel and bleeding the injectors first and see if she will start. Do you have a fuel pressure gauge?

ok it was out of fuel just bled it and it is running again I ran it out of fuel. No I don't have a fuel pressure gauge it's on my to get list I just bought it last week it already has the boost,trans temp and exhaust temp gauges so now I need to get a new fuel gauge a fuel pressure gauge.

i was kinda hoping it was the lift pump so i could upgrade it. i had the better half saying i could upgrade if it was broke.
