Default Fuel pump problem 03 Ram 4x4

I have an 03 Laramie 4x4 pick-up. I had a fuel pump problem, replaced the pump and everytime I hit a bump it would die. Yesterday she died and won't start back up. Where should I begin looking? Any help would be appreciated!!

What engine? What brand fuel pump did you get? Checked the connectors back at the pump?

5,9 engine and it is a Precision fuel pump. I haven't checked the plug yet just the wiring from the fuse box to the pump plug. Haven't checked the plug yet.Got the pump from O'Reilly Auto Parts that

If the wiring checks out, replace the pump. (again....) Go with a better brand though. Denso, or Delphi.

I found a bad relay and someone had partially plugged the computer in and a broken wire just before the pump. Cleaned the computer plug replaced the relay and fixed the wire. She's running like a champ now. Thanks for the information and the help, Hey you!!!
