98'2500 Ram 5.9 fuel issue

OK...So this is my Dads PU and I am not a Dodge buff at all...I have however fixed his tranny awhile back replacing the elec. components that are known to go bad and it fixed THAT issue...

So now I go out to start his PU because the batt. was flat from being parked with the dome light on. Well this is a PU that does not get used so it has been sitting for 3-4 months without being started, and having a flat batt in it.

I charged up the batt. then turned the Ign. on and noticed that the Fuel gauge stays on EMPTY...So I thought...Hmm some lil dipstick stole the fuel...

So...I got Ten Gallons and put it in there...Turned the Ign. key and STILL EMPTY...OK now the flags are going up that I have other issues besides an empty tank. Soooo...I turn the key all the way forward a listen for the Fuel pump to pulse the injectors...NOTHING...

So I check the fuses and relays in the lil control/fuse box...I swapped around the relays in that compartment that were labled engine control and fuel control, and got no change in senario.

OK...SO I know that the truck was running like a champ when it was parked...Then all the sudden it has a bad fuel pump???

ANYONE????

TIA for any help....


Brad
