Truck is 05 with a 5.9 Cummins. I can hear the fuel pump in the tank run.

Have you checked codes? Turn the key on and off three times (run, not crank), and leave it on the third time? See if any codes are displayed. If there are none, than you should get 'done' in the odo window.

You may have to turn it four times...

With the little info I have, I would make sure there is fuel in the tank, check the fuel filter, make sure fuel is getting to the filter, check fuses...

I could be a million things, (crank, no start), but I'm trying to start with the easy stuff.

HTH.

That's a tranny code... not very helpful here..

P1757 Governor Pressure Above 3psi In Gear With 0MPH

When Monitored: While the engine is running and the gear selector is in the Drive Position.
Set Condition: This code will set if the Governor Pressure is greater than 41.4 kPa (6 PSI) for 5 seconds while the gear selector is in the Drive position with the road speed equal to
zero - six times during a drive cycle. The transmission oil temperature must be between 23-88 C (73-190 F).
POSSIBLE CAUSES
OTHER TRANSMISSION DTC’S PRESENT
5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT OPEN
5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT OPEN INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION
OIL BURNT OR OIL PAN HAS EXCESSIVE DEBRIS
GOVERNOR PRESSURE SENSOR
VALVE BODY
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE - 5 VOLT SUPPLY
INTERMITTENT WIRING AND CONNECTORS

That's just for that code... I'd look around at your wiring harnesses at the ECM, around the bottom of the AC compressor... Could have a bad wire somewhere. Did you verify that the fuel filter was full of fuel?

And... are you sure you filled it up with Diesel? Not trying to be rude... sometimes stuff happens...

Haven't checked the fuel filter for fuel. Yes is was diesel and not gas. Back to the code I was told tranny was just rebuild. I've only had the truck 24 hrs before all this started.

Does your pump run continually, if so the supply tube probably came off in tank, place a container under your fuel filter drain tube, open drain valve on side of filter, bunp switch, is fuel present, no problem in supply , yes then you have other problems, hope this helps,
