97 5.9Liter Ram, Fuel Pump?

I was driving this morning, the truck was running great, I turned the corner to where I live and the truck just died, I tried to start it, it just sputtered and would not start, I nice guy towed me home, we put a small amount of gas in the carb and it started for about 5 seconds and died again, I can hear the fuel pump when I turn the key on, fuel pumps are $240.00 bucks, is this my problem?

I replaced the fuel pump, truck fired up and runs great again, It took me about 2 hours to complete the job, took the longesr draining the gas. FYI
