Default 2002 F150 Cranks but won't start

I am experiencing a problem for the second time where my 2002 F150 with 186000 will crank but won't start. The first time I charged the battery and reinstalled and the truck started. Truck ran normal for a month and then would not start. Voltage looked good but purchased a new battery anyway and the truck started. The next morning truck would not start. Cranks fine and voltage looks good. Code reader shows no codes. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

if there is no 1260 code, then listen for the fuel pump to engage. If the fuel pump does not engage, check the fuse under the hood in the junction box and if that is ok, with the ignition on, hit the gas tank a few times with a 2x4 to try and get it to turn on.

Can you smell fuel at all under the hood? Is there spark when it wont start?

Smile Problem solved

Everything was pointing to the fuel pump so I went ahead and changed it. Now starts and runs great. Thanks Rob/HBT for your input.
