Starts and runs for about 5 seconds then dies out

Sounds like you just need a sensor reset. If it starts and dies, it is not the key. That sensor wouldn't even allow it to crank over, let alone start. So the key sensor is off the table. Since it starts, then dies in 5-10 seconds, it has to be a fuel delivery problem. I'm unsure of a test procedure here.

You may be having an intermittent failure with the fuel pressure regulator - checking the fuel pressure when the truck won't start may pinpoint this problem. If the pressure looks OK, this same problem can be caused by the ignition system as well (ignition coil or control module).

Are you sure you didn't run out of gas? It sure sounds like it.

You may want to do a fuel pressure test to start. The pump could be defective. The fuel pressure should hold steadily and not decline with the pump off. If the fuel pressure falls, you either have a fuel leak, stuck injector, faulty fuel pressure regulator, or a bad fuel pump check valve. If the pressure holds at the correct spec, note the pressure as the engine runs and then dies. If the guage shows correct pressure, you can then move on ruling out the fuel system.

This is a classic fuel pump failure. You'll need to remove the gas tank and replace the pump.

take out your mass airflow sensor located on air intake pipe and clean with brake cleaner also is your engine light on?

Disconnected what line?

START WITH CHANGING FUEL FILTER FIRST , NEXT THE FUEL PUMP IS POSSIBLE TOO.

It sounds like your fuel pump is going bad.
