Some history:
Bought the truck from a guy who had the truck running, but it puked coolant out of the exhaust. Blown head gasket, so he swapped in another 2.9l and never got it running again. He sent a video of it running with the first engine. I think the truck sat for a long time before he bought it.
So far, I fixed a missing hose in tank between pump and hard fuel line and new EEC relay. Inertia switch tests fine. Fuel pump relay test fine. Both pumps worked when removed and directly wired to 12V.
When the high pressure pump on the rail is unplugged, the tank pump will turn on. When I plug the high pressure pump in, neither will work. I'm thinking pinched wire somewhere.... unless someone else has some knowledge to share with me? Strange, strange problem.
