i disconected the in feed at the pump too see what was up and it was dry after all that cranking
i thought perhaps some how its still clogged so i blew air into the dissconected line and guess what happened i got doused with gas

on my truck i did it into the gas tank even before trying too crank it over "just because i didnt need the issue again" just be carefull cause the tank can/will expand if you create a good seal.

i never had too do this on any other vehicles
Thanks, Midniteblues I will blow some air into the tank sometime this week
and see what happens.I hope that will put an end to this and the truck will stay running. Like I said earlier I was at the point of going with an electric pump.
