Truck will not start

Pulled truck in garage last Thur. to install S.B. clutch. Just finnished this morning. Got in truck to start, would not start. Fass pump was not running. Wiggled some wires and started pumping. Tried to start again. Started, ran about 10 seconds and died. Drained factory filter, no water. Drained fass unit, no water. Still no start. Fuel pressure 15# with key on. When I crank it over, fuel pressure go to zero. Turn on key, open drain on factory filter, lots
of fuel coming out. Still no start. ANY IDEAS on what to try next.

Just choke it a bit, should start right up.

HA!

You completd the clutch install. Right?
Has it accumulated any codes?
YOu have rechecked everything around the clutch area of work!
Could the crank sensor got damaged/disconnected or perhaps the pump.
Oh! Fill out sig so we know what dealing with.

More than likely the brushes on the FASS system are gummed up. Be careful when you pull them out clean then with alcohol and reinstall and that should do it.

clutch install complete. NO CODES. Rechecked around clutch area, everything looks good. Only wires that were disconneted were the two on the trans. and they are hooked back up. NO work done near crank sensor or pump. Everything looks good around them.

Found the problem. When I reconneted the negative cable on the driver's side battery , there is a nut on each side. There were wires hiding one nut. Tightened it up , truck runs now. Now the nut behind the wheel can drive it and see how the new clutch works. Thanks for the replies.
