Although there is no definitive way to check it without removing it from the tank, there are a few good indicators that will let you know if it is bad. First, when you turn the ignition to "on" there should be a soft whirring sound coming from the gas tank area (the fuel pump kicking on) which can be easily heard by a friend with his ear near the drivers side back tire. If you can't hear this, then you know that either the pump, electrical connections, or rollover valve is bad. The pump is always on when the vehicle in in run mode and the fuel pressure and volume is regulated further down the line. If you don't hear this noise, you can get your hand up above the tank on these trucks to pull the electrical connection and test the wiring, but it is tough. After you have verified that you have voltage coming to the pump, the only thing left to do is to drop the gas tank and pull the pump.
