Default Truck bogging/stalling/ not starting please help

So I had an issue about a month ago where the truck would not start for anything.. I let the truck sit overnight and the next morning it started with no issues at all and has been running fine since. Yesterday the truck started to bog while driving and then stalled out. I checked my edge evolution and it's saying my fuel pressure is .1 to .3 psi Let it sit then it read 35psi. It sometimes starts, revs by itself then dies..
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Lol

replaced a few months ago
- Fuel Injectors
- Fuel Filter
- Fuel Pump Driver Module

please help guys because now I'm out of a truck.. a buddy and I were thinking it has to be the fuel pump?? But I don't want to throw a few hundred dollars at something I'm not sure isnevwn broken. Please give me any insight you may have.

Thankyou,
Mac

Sounds like the FPDM or the plug to it.

With those readings for fuel pressure, I'd get another FPDM. Dorman occasionally has high "infant mortality" rates.

NO... we just told you we think you have a bad Fuel Pump Driver Module (FPDM).. if you bought and installed a FPDM made by Dorman.. they been known to have a high failure rate.. crappy parts..check the plug and fuse for it also..

OK! ... lol was just asking. Do you recommend any certain company for the FPDM? Also I saw there can also be problem with a ground wire under the truck near the drivers door. I started the truck and wiggled each individual wire and couldn't replicate the problem so that's ruled out.

Again thanks for the help

AS... stated above (sorry I wanted to try it too) check and clean all connections going into the FPDM first.

Will do tomorrow. I didn't even think to check it because I just replaced it in I believe September. Also I've been researching the dorman one I bought and the only bad review that I can find is the one on this post lol
