98 Dodge Ram 1500

Last night I took it and filled the truck up. Ran fine and no signs of anything going out. The next morning the truck won't start. After I had time to look at it I determined there is spark, and of course air. So i decided to pour a little gas in the throttle body, and it starts right up for a couple seconds. Changed out the fuel pump relay and still nothing.

Can it really just go out over night, because if so. I now have a truck with 35 gallons of gas in the tank and a bad fuel pump.

 

Sure it can, You could go into a store come out and it could be dead. Gotta love elec fuel pumps.

 

You sure you put GAS in it

 

Anything electrical can go out.. It could take some time to go or it can be in the matter of a quick trip into the store..

 

I had one go out while driving... Stupid electronics...

 

I've had two go out while driving down the road. One in a 1999 Chevy suburban, and one in my 1997 Ram 1500. They can go out anytime, anywhere, with or without warning.

 

Usually with a full tank.

 

Yep, fuel pumps have a cruel sense of humor

 

I think the adding of fuel on an already weak pump shakes something loose and it just...well...dies!

 

You are so right.
