If it still has the stock lift pump, I would start there.

lift pump is in the tank, it will not cycle with key. I tried to bypass with jumper wire and can get the pump to work that way. I know this truck may need a recovery file, but need communication with the pcm first

Check your scan tool connection to the OBDII port. If you bent a pin (pretty hard to do but possible) you might get a com error. If everything at the OBDII looks good you may want to check the backplane and make sure everything is still connected.
