The fuel pump on the truck is a new unit (bought from LMC Truck). I would hope that I didn't get a faulty pump but cannot rule that out. The pump does suck fuel into the sediment bowl but is not pushing it out to the carb. I took it apart and found gas not just in glass but in the fuel pump bowl itself. Unfortunately LMC did not provide any instructions for install or set-up so I went off of memory and how the old one looked after being removed.

One thing I want to ensure is that I have it connected correctly. The line coming from the tank goes into the inlet above the sediment bowl and the output line is above the pump tank itself going to the carb. I cannot locate video's online but from pictures and the shop manual I have this appears to be correct.

All the lines from the tank to the pump and to the carb are new as well. Besides not having fuel being expelled from the pump is there a way to test and ensure it is working properly?
