HI there folks
So my old faithful would not start today. Has never let me down. Just ran the other day but went out to run some errands and it cranks real good but no start. I check for codes and get none. No smoke out the tail pipe so thinking pump or something like this Any ideas as to where to start would be great, She has 347,000 miles on her and was going strong till today.
Thanks

I don't recall if the lift pump on 2005 models were still canister mounted. With the number of miles you have, I can't imagine that hasn't already been addressed. My truck acted similarly when my lift pump failed - although it actually died while driving.

they changed that pump over years ago. Is that the pump in the tank?

Yes, we're talking about the lift pump which delivers fuel from the tank to the high pressure system that feeds the injectors. Mine was originally mounted near the fuel filter canister. They changed to an in-tank pump design in either 2005 or 2006 (I don't recall which). I had the retrofit done a few years ago to the in-tank pump. When my lift pump failed, it would crank like crazy but not start. And no codes as I recall.
