I have a 98 dodge ram 1500,
So far i change water pump,
New battery,new right wheel hub,
Shocks and rear speed sensor,,

But while im driving less than a mile my truck spudders than
Just shuts down, and wait i for a few minute to and hour
And starts right back up and shuts down again...
Is it something to do with my fuel pump? Plz help

 

Sounds like the fuel pump.Took me 2 hours to go 15 miles once upon a time. Waiting for the pump to cool down, then make it half a mile or so. Airtex pumps don't have a good reputation for quality.

 

Could be a number of things.... do you hear the pump prime after it stops, and you try to restart?

 

+1... you are going to have to eliminate (troubleshoot) one thing at a time. Might as well start with fuel pump as stated. You'll need an inexpensive fuel pressure tester to do so properly. I'm thinking crank sensor or pcm though. But don't start throwing money at it. Buying a few diagnostic tools is money well spent for now and in the future.

 

autozone, advance, and oreilly's have a lot of free loaner tools. check if any of your local stores offer one.

 

Ok guys thankx for ur help, i think i might as well software diagnost it at a shop

 

Ouch, hope your wallet is fat.

 

If the truck dies on you after driving a bit then you should try this, crawl under the truck with a rubber mallet in hand to CAREFULLY, DELICATELY, CAREFULLY, KINDLY, and GENTLY tap and "Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang", as said by comedian John Witherspoon, on the fuel tank in its middle section directly under the fuel pump, being careful not to crack a hole in the tank or break a piece of your mallet off in your fuel tank, and see if the vibrations help ease the problem. For a while this is a temporary fix, however in the long run the pump will need to be replaced. This is just a simple backyard solution/check to finding a cure for the issue if in fact the fuel pump is the cause.

+1 on local parts store loaner fuel pressure tester.

This is the professional approach, it is more time consuming but it is the most accurate way to identify what is going on with the fuel pump, fuel pressure, and volume of fuel in the system.

Download the 2001 service manual, go to the library to get the book on your truck, or buy the book for 20 bucks which is specific to your vehicle and use the instructions provided to accurately troubleshoot and diagnose your vehicle so that you can fix it without losing your sanity.

Test the fuel pressure being produced by your pump using the instructions from the book and if that isn't it, move to the next section that relates to the issues you are experiencing, otherwise woe unto you...

 

Hey guys sorry for the forever back post ,
But anyways i finally got to put in the new crank position sensor on the truck and drove it
Around town and it did the same thing again (dies out while driving) any advise whats goin on? Fuel pump is new!

 

What brand fuel pump? Did you check fuel pressure yet? Did you disconnect negative battery cable when replacing the crank position sensor?
