I will move this to the 1st generation Dakota sub-forum.
There are tons of possibilities, it needs to be diagnosed further to find out what.
Do you have any check engine light codes?
When it dies does it start right back up?
Does it turn off like when you turn the key or does it chug then die?
Does it only die when your foot is off of the accelerator or lightly on it?
In all conditions check for correct fuel pressure and good spark at all plugs when it is acting up.
If I had to guess maybe a bad fuel pump since you said the gauge flickers.
