Help!!! ran out of gas, now truck wont start

Curious: I can't count the number of times my wife has run out of gas in my 99 Ram or her 06 Yukon. It has been at least 20 times apiece. It has happen so many times that both of the floats (or whatever they use) are screwed and the fuel gauge reads off by a quarter tank. Never have I had to replace the fuel pump. I suppose there is a chance that you got a lemon fuel pump.

This is just a taste of the issues you deal with while deployed!!!
Note: It is at LEAST 20 times...in two different vehicles.

Agree after seeing this.
I'm not going to dispute the folks who are saying the pump may have failed but, man, I find it really odd and disturbing that something as minor and potentially common as running out of gas would destroy a pump. I know about the hazards of sucking up crap from the bottom of the tank when you run dry, but that should be as easy as a new filter. A fuel pump should not die from running out of gas once.
