What kind of truck? Need some details, we can"t see it through the Internet.

Why did you change the fuel pump and FPDM without troubleshooting? Did you know for a fact that you had no fuel pressure? If so, did you check the inertia switch? Did you do any electrical testing?

If your idea of troubleshooting is to shotgun parts at it, it would be better if you just had it towed to a shop.

We still don't know what year it is.

Details are important.

Install a test lamp at the inertia switch in the passenger side kick panel. You will need to make a VERY careful observation to see if the fuel pump circuit is loosing its power that causes the engine to stall vs the power being dropped because the engine stalled.

Once you KNOW which half of the circuit is at fault, it allows you to focus on the most likely suspects.

This, of course, presumes that you intend to troubleshoot the issue instead of guessing.

Do you know it doesn't have fuel pressure. When you have a problem the first thing you should do is get the codes read. That onboard computer is pretty smart.

Quite true, but there are a number of things that the computer cannot "see" or does not check, therefore, the computer will not be able to assist in the diagnosis.

Sometimes, a human brain and some test tools and techniques must be used.
