Have replaced fuel pump,primed, when started fuel pressure @ 55 lbs but will only run on ether, I’m spraying wd40 at same time as not to dry out cylinder, seems like not getting fuel to injectors ---

Be careful when spraying starting fluid in the cylinders. If your glow plugs are hot the engine can fire and cause internal damage. I think there is an injector pump with these engines inline between the fuel pump and injectors. Where are you taking the pressure readings? There is also a fuel pressure regulator that can cause a no fuel condition. I need more info to determine the problem. Year of truck? ---

Thank you for the information and I do understand about the glow plugs, I have unhooked the wire to the glow plugs. The truck is a 1995 OBD-2 diesel and uses the high pressure oil pump to open the injectors.
