    If a shop installed the pump and injectors, was it running properly when they gave the truck back to you?

    When you say "soon as i let go of key it dies"...Is that a figure of speech, or does the engine literally shut down as soon as you remove your hand from the key? :confused:

    Your fuel pump should run in the switch "Run" (On) position. Unless new wires were run, that should still be true with the new pump. Turn the key to the first position (Run or On) and listen at the tank for pump operation. If the pump isn't running, verify power to the fuel pump with switch in "Run" position.
