Default 99 dodge 3500 died while driving...

I found this website while trying to find out what's wrong with my 3500. Hope you can help, seems to be some very knowledgeable people on here.

This weekend on a drive out of town, while going up hill, I was no longer getting any gas, the truck just kind of died on me. The truck would crank but not turn over. Had to be towed in. It's sitting in a garage now, but I'm wanting to get a feel for what could be wrong. I'm thinking the lift pump after reading several posts. Never noticed any hesitate or problems before it conked out. I did have both batteries replaced the week before. Earlier in the day, the radio went out - just static. Figured it was just a coincidence. Any thoughts ? The truck has about 125,000 miles on it.

No codes. I saw something about turning the key off/on/off/on. Is that how I get a code?

Don't think the key trick works on the '99.

I think that came into play in '03 with the CR's
