Default 2001 Dakota will not start

Engine died while driving. Have replaced the fuel pump and checked all relays and fuses. Engine cranks, but the fuel pump does not come on. I get no error codes, have good spark at the plugs, fuel in the tank, new ASD and TPS, no bad fuses. The only thing that is not going is the fuel pump. Fuel gauge reads accurately. 4.7 L V8 Auto 2WD.
Need help.

Check fuel pump relay and also see if you have fuel pressure. Could be the relay or the fuel pump itself, and I don't think those two things would necessarily throw a CEL.

I have checked the relay and fuse. All are good. Also installed a new fuel pump. There is no line pressure after that install.

Other than the missing "no bus" on the odometer display, sounds like the problem I've been having. Could be worth a look at the cluster. Wiggle the cluster wires while the truck is running.
