You are not the only normal person
I have recently joined so the news is new to me and I have only recently had a problem. Sorry you are so smart and I am stupid. All I am asking is what causes the thump, but I guess it is your insecurity you idiot.Why have an on line forum when people act this way?

Thanks
Well you have a decision to make.
Either count on getting lucky or do some testing to find the issue.
Should be able to hear the pump run about 1 second at key on, then shut off.
This is normal. You still would not know anythng about fuel pressure.
At this point don't worry about using a tank of gas if the motor won't start.
Good luck.

All I did was ask a question. Why ask if all somebody is going to do is be and an ***?

Nobody is calling you stupid, but apparently there's some things regarding forum etiquette you aren't aware of. Bringing up a thread that's been dead 4 years is not the ideal way to get help for YOUR problem (this is called thread crapping and it's not appreciated) - and then getting pissed off at senior members when you are called on it just compounds your issues and makes it even harder to get decent help.

I started the truck a week ago, ran it around the block and then parked it so I could get a new tag. Went out and it would not start a week later. The fuel rail thumps when I try to prime it up, and I expect the pump is bad. I took the fuel filter loose and tried to start the car and there was no flow from the hoses on either side.

Supposed Mechanical Brianiacs
for all of you semi qualified mechanics, forums ARE for people who are NOT mechanics trying to figure out issues and have limited budgets. Perhaps you should remember that before posting your over exagereatedopionoion of yourself. The man was asking for advice but got BS instead. Better to stay quiet/or offer help on how to figure the problem out. If you are not going to offer advice how how the PERSON who is nasking the question-perhaps you should keep your mouth shut-we're not all mechanics or have thousands invested in a garage full of tools we'll use only once. Bottom line be a real help or shut up!
I'm not trying to give you a hard time but to get you to realize a different outlook on owning a truck and what it takes to upkeep one.
You spent more than $40 guessing on at least 3 parts and now you won't invest in a tool to try finding the real problem! Check to see if there is a fuel rail port before you by a gauge set.
After awhile the total exceeds the cost of having a shop find the fault.
Often you can hear the pump run a second to shut-off when the key is turned to thr RUN position. That's normal. Often times some can't hear it in a full tank or some have poor hearing.
The crank sensor is at about the 7 o'clock position behind the front crank damper.
If things are that tight, you should consider a small car in lue of a truck that is getting older and will need more maintaince as time goes by.
Good luck.
