Default Truck starting problems

Today went out to start truck, and had alot of trouble, it would crank, shake real bad and cut off. Held gas pedal in all the way, it finally fired up, however i kept the gas pedal pressed and it finally stopped the shaking, but noticed gas hand went all the way to full and i only had a quarter tank before this happened, Any Ideas. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like something shorted between the fuel pump and sending unit. You will need to check fuel pressure if that is your problem.
