Test your fuel pump. It should fill up the bowl while the starter is cranking the engine over before it starts.
Your fuel pump is working somewhat, otherwise it wouldn't run after you manually added fuel.
Once the engine fires up, a weak fuel pump will pump enough fuel to fill the bowl quicker than what the starter does before it starts.
Drive your truck more often too. smile
