Drove to work this morning parked it in the shop went to leave act like its out of gas again I know it's full of gas because I filled it up yesterday. It will start up and run for a bit and then die. Does it sound like a fuel pump issue or maybe some bad gas? I bought a fuel filter so when I get to work tomorrow I will try that as the truck is still there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Im dealdealing with the exact same thithing. Through trial and error Ive boiled it down to either the fuel pump or the fuel pump pressure actuator located under the spare tire. Note: I'm a carpenter not a full time mechanic.

It should be easy to check the fuel pressure if your truck is a 97 to 03 at the shrader valve on the fuel rail.

I'm guessing it's a 2004+ because he talks about a module by the spare tire. That would be the FPDM which needs to be removed and checked for corrosion.
