Hook up a noid lite to the injector/s harness and see if it flashes if so the injector/s is the problem no flashes could mean power input or the computer injector/s ground drivers-

The ecm b fuse blew and when I put a new one in it blows imedeitley. I checked the wires that go to the fuel pump and they were fine. The ECM B fuse is the fuel pump. What else runs off that fuse?

So i looked at the three relays under the hood on the drivers side fender and the middle relay looks like it fried because the plug and bottom of the relay are black. I cant read the numbers on the relay so I cant cross refrence tot see if it the fuel pump relay.

Ok. I have replaced the fuel pump relay, ignition control module, computer and oil pressure sensor. It still blows the ECMB fuse even when the computer is unplugged and the key is off.

Time to break out the circuit tester and check for direct short to ground from the fuse all the way to the pump

I know its not the wires from the fuse to the pump cause they are brand new. I did end up finding a common problem with these trucks. The wires that go from the computer to under the hood to the engine. The wires run along the firewall behind the motor rub on the back of the block and short out but is very hard to see anything.
