Beautiful thank you sir I have a large c clamp that might do the trick I’ll try this tomorrow and report back. As far as the fuel rail goes it was 54psi and dropped 1 psi every 10 seconds I believehttps://www.harborfreight.com/4-pie...jKtFenWA5tL2pKzmSG9NPVV2B8XFYKeoaAopnEALw_wcB

or I've used needle nose vise grips with another piece of rubber hose over the line to protect it from damage.
I haven’t tested it but 99% certain it’s good since I drove it like 10 miles, but it did run like crap and backfire occasionally so would be good to test but I don’t have the tools for that. Also this thing is draining batteries anyone know best way to look for battery drain? I don’t even know where to start there’s so much electrical in this truck it’s just overwhelming to even know where to start.How's the compression? No sense worrying about injectors if it's not healthy.
I like a seat belt buzzer. Put it between the positive and the battery cable. If there is a drain it will buzz. With everything shut off hook it up. If it buzzes pull fuses until you find the circuit that is causing the issue. Leave that fuse out and replace the rest one at a time. If it buzzes when you put in another fuse note what circuit and leave that one out until you get fuses in without buzz. Then track the offending circuits until you find the drainI haven’t tested it but 99% certain it’s good since I drove it like 10 miles, but it did run like crap and backfire occasionally so would be good to test but I don’t have the tools for that.

You can rent tools for free from Autozone or Oreillys. That includes compression tester, multimeter, fuel pressure tester, etc..I’m going to test the fuel pressure tomorrow with a jump since my battery is dead dead and if it tests ok then I will have to buy tools to test compression.
Ok key on test at rail is 54 psi and drops about 1 psi every 10 seconds. I’m not sure which line is the return line so I tried both. 1 line psi hits 54 and slowly drops, other line psi hits 58 then slowly drops. Possibly 1 psi every 30 seconds.You will just end up chasing your tail and spend tons of money to potentially solve nothing like that. There have been lots of good advise on how to simply troubleshoot your problem and you seem to completely ignore it and instead laser focus on something that everyone is telling you IS NOT the problem.
There is no fuel pressure sensor on your truck. The Fuel TANK pressure sensor is only used for EVAP system testing when the truck is first turned on and is not used in your application... regardless of whether there is a sensor installed in your fuel sending unit. The fuel pump itself is the same for almost all GM trucks/SUV's from ~96-2003.
Put a fuel pressure sensor on the rail and then test the pressure(I know you already did this). Record the pressure key on/ engine off. Turn key off and record how fast the pressure drops(PSI/second). Then do what spareparts said and pinch off the return line. Record the key on/ engine off pressure. Turn key off and record how fast the pressure drops(PSI/second). If your pressure with the return line pinched off is over 60psi and it doesn't bleed off very fast after you pinch the return line closed, your entire problem is the FPR. Full stop.
