96 1500 silverado Ext. Cab wont crankmbeav17 11-22-2007, 08:13 PM Hey guys I hope you can help me out. My mom borrowed my truck and backed into a tree, pushed the bumper down and dented the tailgate. I don't know if that caused problem or not but here goes. She drove the truck the rest of thay day and parked it in her garage. The next mourning the truck would not start. I replaced the fuel filter and that is not the problem. If you spray gas in it will run untill burnt off. It is a 4x4 V8 350 5.7L fuel injection 1996 with aprox. 130,000 miles, Any ideas or suggestions ? tempfixit 11-22-2007, 10:14 PM Hey guys I hope you can help me out.

Check fuel pressure with a fuel pressure tester.
