Truck Wont start ran out of gas put gas in and still wont start
last wendsday i drove my truck in a snow storm came home and parked it really wasnt that much fuel left in the truck but i didnt run it completly out the fuel light didnt come on but it was low so today i got 5 gallons of gas and dumped it in..the truck wont start i tried starting it b4 i put gas in it as well...also doesnt really sound like the fuel pump is coming on when hit the key is there a emergency shut off restart button switch on the truck that i need to hit or is the fuel pump shot...the truck sounds like it wants to start but doesnt turn over just clickes when i hit the key and my gryphon programmer isnt throwing any codes...any one got any ideas and it has a new battery in so i'm stumped

and for future thought running the fuel that low can cause premature failure of your fuel pump
I have a mustang at home that sits and has battery issues. Usually I start it once a week and drive it around the block to make sure all the fluids are moving etc. I let it sit almost all winter this time and didnt pull the battery . Just threw it on the charger overnight and started her right up.

I just had to have my truck towed for the Fuel Pump Driver Module as well. The truck died and seemed to be out of gas even though the low fuel light had jsut turned on. So I walked down the street and got a couple gallons of gas and dumped it in. It would then start but idle really rough. Any time I put it in gear or touched the gas pedal it would die.
Had it towed to a dealership and left it there until morning. Called them up and they got it in right away for me. At first they said that it could possibly be the fuel pump. If it was it was going to be upwards of $800-1000 to fix. The FPDM installed was $499.26.

Just had my fuel pump driver module replaced 2 weeks ago. The module was $128.73 and the labor was $131.64 total was $260.37 but my truck was under warranty so I didnt have to pay squat!!!!! $499.26 seems a little much!!!!

I don't know, I didn't get a chance to see it. The truck died at about 130AM after I had jsut finished work and was giving my supervisor a ride home. It took me 5 hours to finally get it to the dealer after trying a few other things first. I just left it there and dropped my keys in the over night box and went home. Stayed up for another 30 mins after I got home to call the service department. After having a chat with them they went out and pulled it inside right away. They called back around noon and told me it was the FPDM. I told them replace it and see if they could have the truck done by 3 so I could get it back in time before heading to work. Just as I was about to give up on it and drive my F250 to work they called and told me it was finished. I rushed over and grabbed it and headed to work so I never even thought to ask to see the old one.
I don't know if mine cost more because I was out of warranty or what, but they had $210.00 for labor. Also had $79.99 for diagnosis along with the $128.73 for the FPDM. I didn't know what the problem was when I dropped it off so that's why they had to diagnose it. I was cold and tired and didn't want to crawl under the truck when it was parked in the snow.
