It could be dozens of things, but start with checking fuel pump, fuel pump relay and fuel pressure. It can't be the ECU because it runs when you add fuel. Engines only need three things.

1. Fuel
2. Compression. You have because it runs.
3. A Spark at the right time, You have because it runs.

It runs when you are fuel manually, so fuel delivery is your issue. Does it have an alarm and immobilizer? Battery disconnected or ran flat recently?

Verify if there is spark or not when cranking the engine over. If not, could be the pickup coil inside the distributor-this is what tells the control module what position the crankshaft is in, for delivering spark at the right time.

The problem you have is a cracked block. This allows water to get into your oil, and that causes the milky appearance. As you might imagine, this is not a good thing. You can try the block seal, but, there are no guarantees. Good luck. Oh, and by the way, it has nothing to do with the dip stick, just the water and oil failing to mix.

The bulb socket should pull out from behind. You usually turn the socket to unplug it from the housing.

you don't need a video //// on the bottom of the plastic shroud that covers the steering column you will see a hole & inside is a shiny metal button if you don't have the keys you must drill out that button then you will be able to twist the lock cylinder forward to remove it make sure the battery has been disconnected before you rotate the cylinder because the truck will start////// to replace the cylinder you must put the key in the new one and rotate it so the tip fits into the shaped hole in the column also the steps on the outside of the cylinder must fit into place then you can turn it back and the cylinder will lock itself in when the shiny button has popped into place the tip you see here above ^ and the steps on the side now you should understand that's the button you drilled out on top that locks the cylinder in the bottom of the column have fun it won't take to long or be to hard to do but that button will not let go till it is drilled past the hole in the column o.k. so get a nice sharp and greased bit for cooling and rip it up

It isn't an easy job. Removing the differential can be helpful to a person repairing it, but not entirely necessary...all parts are accessible, as long as the diff doesn't have a broken case, it should not really need to come off, depending on what the purposed repair is. Something like a re-gear is easier on a bench, but spline replacement is easy to do with the unit in place. To remove... It requires removing the axle off the leaf springs (possible danger to a novice mechanic) and all related wheel hardware, brakes, shocks, steering, torsion bars, etc...and setting them back in perfect alignment is tricky. What do you need to do to the diff?

when it wont start, turn your headlights on, see if they work if they dont, find out why. When it wont start, take a wire from the positive battery terminal and touch it to the small post on the starter solenoid, it should crank. If it now cranks, theres a problem between the ign switch and the starter solenoid.

check your fuses in engine bay and under dash drivers side

check for binding linkage, broken throttle cable, missing or broken return spring. repair or replace component that is causing problem.
