Is it a power stroke? If so I can walk ya through getting it started, if it's not I'm pretty worthless.

From Oroville eh?
My favorite place on earth. I live at my little hunting cabin on Mt. Hull during deer season. Oh and the Mexican food at Trinos!

Your rig likely needs to have the air bled from the fuel system after changing the pump and opening the filter.
Crack open both fuel lines which exit the fuel filter and enter the heads. Crank the engine to bleed the air. Crank until you get good fuel coming out without air or bubbles then tighten. If it requires continued cranking let the starter rest and cool so you don't burn it up.

Let me know how it goes.

Yea oroville is great! If it had idaho's hunting laws and opportunitys i would still live there but sadly it doesnt.

alright i started by just turning it over again and it fired after just a few seconds but then immediately died, turned it over again and it started but died right away again, taking the lid off the filter housing you can see that there is fuel being pumped into the filter housing but there is also alot of air bubbles being pumped in too, would that even affect anything? the fuel filter housing is being kept full of fuel so is the problem more likely to be air in lines after the filter housing?

Air in fuel lines is no good when dealing with diesels.  Not familiar with your truck, but if it had a hand primer around the filter, try that.  With old school diesels you can break free (loosen the nut, do not remove) the line on top of the injectors and crank it over to get the air out.  If you're getting a bunch of air in your system you need to start there...

With the filter housing open the air has a place to escape. With it closed the air goes straight into the high pressure pump and to the injectors. You'll need to get the air out of the system. Some engines you can bled the air at just one of the injectors by loosening it up and cranking the engine and others need the air bled from all of the injectors. Make sure to give your starter a break while you are bleeding the air out too. YouTube is your friend right now.
My interpretation of the rules are open to interpretation.
Once I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken.

so with the hard lines that go from the filter to the heads cracked diesel is coming out just fine it seems, after i let it sit for a hour or so it will fire up but only just for a second or too then it dies??? so next step is to bleed the air out right at the injectors? i have tryed youtube and havent found much with my motor but there is alot with the 1999-2001 but i will try again

Did you replace fuel filter?  If so keep bleeding.  Hpop suck oil out of it and put some fresh oil in it.  Probably full of sludge.
MAGA!  Again..

If it'll start and run, you can keep the Accelerator floored for a few seconds, that'll change the oil in the hpop.

It'll also help move oil through the head galleys, air in the fuel is hard on injectors, but it'll run. Air in the oil will cause it to shut down.

Try to hold over 1500 rpm, occasionally going to redline, for 30 seconds or so, if it gets better, drive the living piss out of it, get the air out of the oil system that way.
