    98 5.7 K1500 Cranks But Won't Start. Fuel Pump?

    You could locate the fuel pump relay and pop off the plastic cover of relay and manually operate to see if the pump kicks on. Also use a volt ohm meter and ensure power is at the relay and traveling through the relay when manually engaged.

    This must be the most lowered GMT400 ever

    The only value I see in that is to fill the back with kitty litter and let all the farm cats s&!t in it. This should be a classic poster for more money than brains.
