Need help truck wont start

[97mud]

I have a 97 k1500 5.7L 350 Vortex
its getting fuel and spark but it wont turn over if i spray starter fluid in it starts and runs till it burn all the fluid up then dies
need help

Well I know you said its getting fuel but is it getting enough. If the fuel pressure is too low then the truck wont get enough fuel to keep running. I personally don't know the exact fuel pressure, but it should be about 60 psi while running/ starting.

could it just be that i need a new fuel filter cause that fuel pump was put into the truck in july and it was a new ac delco one not a rebuilt

Very possible and can't hurt! a dirty fuel filter and rob fuel pressure easily and cause hard start and trouble running.
