The problem has gotten worse over a few months time. it is to the point to every time i try to start my truck, i have to spray starter fluid. it acts like it is not getting any fuel. when i try to start my truck it will just trun over and over as long as my battery will let me. but soon as i hit it with starter fuild...bam the first time it cranks like a new truck...... please tell me what the deal is here... please...
Have you looked inside of the throat of the throttle body? Is there a lot of black inside? Try good carburetor cleaner and clean it out good. You may need an old toothbrush to help
Could be a clogged fuel filter or a bad fuel pump..

Please call me its easier to explain on the phone, in the mean time try something easy hit the fuel pump on thebottom with a brick or rock then have someone listen to the fill neck of the tank for the two second "buzz" as soon as you turn on the ignition, has this vehicle been run way way low on fuel many times or the fuel filter neglected to been changed at the 15,000 miles interval?

Just from what you said it sounds like your vehicle might not be holding its residual pressure which means after you turn a vehicle off, your fuel injection system should hold a certain amount of pressure in the system, but if that pressure drops to fast your vehicle may have a hard time starting. Things to look for when you lose fuel pressure is the fuel pressure regulator may be leaking, fuel pump check valve,leaky fuel injector or they maybe a small leak in one of the fuel lines. I only suggested this cause i had a car with the similar problem.
SOURCE: Won't crank....seems as if its not getting spark.
sounds like a fuel pump problem. if you have ran out of gas, the fuel pump probably is burned. with the new battery the engine crank?? if your answer is yes, im sure the problem is the fuel pump.

If it doesn't turn over, that tells me the starter is bad.
However, if it is turning over but not running over time, then I would try some starter fluid in the throttle body to see if it runs in lieu of gasoline.
If it does run on starter fluid, then it may have a bad fuel pump.
