05 Stall/Died/No Start Has Me Stumped
(2005 4x4 SCrew) Was driving to town last Friday. I slowed down to go across a one lane low water bridge and when I started up the other side (slight hill), the truck began to lose power. I struggled to keep it running enough to get it to the side of the road. It then died on me. Could barely get it started once and it bucked and shook until it finally died again. Pulled it home (about 2miles) and haven't been able to start it since. It acts like it tries to fire,but that's about it. I did some digging online and thought it might be the FPDM, so I changed that--still won't start.
I can hear the fuel pump energize/whir then I hear a clunk--all seeming to come from the fuel pump area (I pulled the bed off thinking I would change the fuel pump).
Any ideas? I've got 187k miles on it with the original pump, so it wouldn't hurt to change it anyway. BTW...looks like I'll have to drop the tank anyway because the pump is about 3/4 under the cab anyway.
All comments welcomed!!
Forgot to add that I do not have any codes stored that I can determine

The FPDM looked good when I took it off...no corrosion, etc., but I put the new one on anyway. I can't find a replaceable relay in my manual...from what I've been reading, is it soldered into the fuse box itself?
Also I forgot to mention that the fuel filter is fairly new (

Thanks, I appreciate the response, as this is frustrating...I miss my truck!! lol I will check that this evening as well, but should be ok, as I replaced it less than 10k miles ago at the same time I replaced my VCT solenoids ( my truck was wanting to stall when stopping at lights and new VCT's fixed it).
