Welcome to DodgeForum!!

Did you replace the fuel filter while you were replacing the pump? And has the truck had a recent ignition tune up? Just off the top of my head, it could one or more of: the TPS, MAP, IAT, or coolant temp sensors that have gone bad. The computer uses all of them to tune the engine.

I would think the computer would throw a code if its a sensor. But if the sensor half works then the computer might not see it as a problem. I would do what 318 suggests but i would start with the fuel filter.

Are they the small bulbs? Mine are and don't work either, I think they are just extra parking lights. I never saw the need for those two little lights so I didn't replace them.

EGR or TPS. Had the exact same problem, turned out to be the EGR, it had thrown the code, but didnt turn the CE light on.
