Default 1995 dodge dakota runs then dies

I have a 1995 Dodge Dakota v6 4x4 I’ve replaced everything from wires plugs distributor and relays tested fuel pump and ran hot wires o pump insure that it was not bad. However the truck will run then shut down it doesn’t have a set time or a time limit on how long it runs but I don’t know what to do I spent too much on parts to get rid of truck does anyone have any clue on what could be the issue I checked the fusible link it’s clean. It acts as if it’s the fuel pump but when it’s not starting I poured gas I the throttle body and it still won’t start up.

Have you done the key dance to see what codes it's producing?

while I do not see anything besides normal maintenance parts on that list I must ask did you replace the whole distributor or the pickup within cap, rotor, all of the above?
the crank sensor can do what you describe and often not put up a code.
I hope you aren't one of these that puts nothing into your vehicles but gas..... they do need periodic maintenance.

This would be a long shot but I just had the same problem last week and it turned out to be the coil wire was arc-ing on exhaust manifold. I know you said you changed your wires though
