Default New pumps and wont start

I replaced my carter pump after it failed at 105K, my injector pump and fuel level sending unit in tank. Now it wont start even after bleeding numbers 1,3,4 &5. Fuel at all injectors but still will not start. I did run carter pump to ensure fuel coming from Shraeder before bleeding injectors. Any help?

Is the fuel spraying out of the injectors when you crack them or just dripping out?

Sometimes they can just be a royal pain to get the air out of the lines,just make sure you put a batt charger on it if you start to drain the batteries down.

Thanks, I'll give another try on Saturday. If that doesn't work, I don't know what else to do.

Still wont start. Fuel at injectors and now I get a 1694 code. Dont know what else to do other than dig a hole and bury it.

Well here it is. After replacing fuel tank sending unit, pusher pump and injector pump, checking all wiring, etc. bleeding injectors no less than 15 times----it was my ECM that had gone south for the winter. New ECM and truck runs like a champ.
