Check the basics first. Purge any air in the fuel system, check for leaks, make sure all fuel lines front to back are kink free. Make sure fuel is coming out the lift pump.

i cant get it to the pump with out sticking an air hose in the fuel tank and then it will get to the lift pump but it takes alot of air and the truck will run then dies i check the lift pump and its empty

Yea check the preheater, thats before the lift pump. Could be getting clogged. But I might be inclined to say the LP is bad.

Bleed the system, dont try n start the truck, crack open the bleeder on the fuel filter housing, and pump the LP and see if you got any fuel comming out of the bleeder.
