Ok I picked up a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4, as i am driving all of a sudden the fuel guage drops to empty (yes I have half of a tank of fuel in the vehicle) and the engine cuts out. I does not want to restart at all. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking fuel pump and module assembly to replace, but not too certain I would greatly appreciate a second opinion. Thanks in advance for your help.

 

I would think frayed wiring could cause this. Like somewhere in the harness, the fuel gauge wires and fuel pump wiring could be shorting out.

 

Were the other gauges still working?

 

All of the other gauges work as normal

 

Yep, check the wiring to the fuel pump.
