before you reload the parts cannon.

do you have
spark?
proper air flow?
proper fuel pressure?

Had a thought but noticed I had posted to your other thread in the general discussion forum. I don't have any thing to add at this time so I deleted my post and since you have to have something in its place I put "nvm" (text speak for never mind)

Are you satisfied it's the fuel pump? Or are you still diagnosing it?

I've had fuel pump failures on other vehicles, and the failure symptoms were much the same as yours - engine shut off with no codes.

Default Got it started then she died again

I went through everything i could not being a mechanic for a living the truck initially died while driving down the interstate i since fixed the fuel pump relay pcm relay the fuel pump and fuel tank pressure switch along with the battery and i had the alternator checked out still nothing so i went back over the fuses under the dashboard after looking at the 30 amp fuse again i noticed a little black spot on the fuse leg so I replaced it and the truck fired right up I thought it was fixed I drove it for 2 days everything was good then I was leaving work and it just died again while slowing to a stop same thing as last time just crank no fire this time I noticed that the gauges are not working or the odometer I’m at the point of sending it to the dealership to get it fixed so any help would be appreciated I’ve seen on other forums that others have had the same problem

that almost seems like you have a short somewhere. Like a short to ground or something like that. Fuses don't just blow
