Looking for some troubleshooting steps... 05 1500 5.7 Hemi ran fine this morning, made it to work no problems. Go to leave work and she turns over but not starting. Swapped fuel relays and fuses, no engine lights, no error codes on the on/off/on/off/on test. Spray starting fluid in the air filter and it wants to start. When I research the fuel filter I keep finding articles that say it's a non-serviceable part and it shouldn't need replaced. Before I go pick up a $200 fuel pump does anyone have any other troubleshooting steps I can do to get a concrete solution?

There's a Schrader valve at the fuel rail where you can check the fuel pressure. If you're not getting any fuel at the rail then I would bet it's the fuel pump. The filter is part of the pump assembly inside the tank. :welcome:

You should be able to hear the pump run for 3-4 seconds when the key is first turned on.

This. I just had to replace my fuel pump a few months ago. Check for fuel pressure and if there is none, you'll have to get a new pump.
