    3.4 starts for about 5 seconds then quits. Giving it gas doesn't help. Replaced fuel filter & checked fuel pump

    How does the engine sound when it runs for these 5 seconds, rough/smooth?

    the PCM has the ability to store "pending" codes... if you have a scanner check and see.

    Do you have a stock air intake on your truck? I'd try cleaning the maf for now with some maf cleaner and then eventually replace it so it doesn't become an issue later down the road.
