Had fuel pump replaced after diagnostic check that it only had about 4 lbs. pressure. Drove truck home and it sat for about 3 days, went out to start it and would not start. Could hear the fuel punp engage and run about 3-4 secs. Ignition checked fine.

Did they replace the fuel filter and the filter sock on the end of the pump? Most pump makers require this to honor the warranty.

Yes the screen was replaced along with the fuel filter. I know the screen or sock was replaced as it was an extra cost.
