Unhappy PLS HELP!! Fuel pump

OK I will try and keep this short. I am looking for ideas and any help.
A week ago at about 2,000 rpm my truck would spit and sputter (but idled fine) I brought it to tires plus and the charged me 60 bucks to tell me low fuel pressure and I needed fuel pump. After buying 2 fuel pumps and a filter and it all including dropping my tank now when I start my truck it starts great and idles fine for about 10-15 sec then dies out. Its acting like the pump is shutting off or its running out of gas before it dies. Please help me as I have to take it on a huge trip tomorrow.

You will have to do another fuel pressure test. You could have a bad regulator or the injectors could be sticking, among other things.

i've got the same problem, on mine ordered a new pump and regulator.

i'd say get a regulator too.

drop your tank clean it out real good.

remove inline filter and disconect the fuel lines up in the engine bay by the fire wall, blow the lines clean with shop air. put all back together with a new filter. when you change the regulator, remove the fuel rail from the injectors and remove old regulator and blow it out with shop air.

need special equipment to clean the injectors them selfs.

Has to be something that both pumps share. Regulator as mentioned. Or Fuel Pump Relay!

Could even be one or two injectors. Need more information and troubleshooting to pinpoint it.

also check to see if the injectors are wet on the outside i've seen bad upper orings that did not spit fuel out but slowly leaked down out of the orings when it was parked and when it was running it would suck air into the line and down into the injector.
