thats what i think now to but do you think it could also be the computer.
when it stalls it sometimes starts back up right away but it could also
take up to 2 hours

Sure sounds like the fuel pump. Mine left me broke down in Lakehurst
NJ. I had a tow truck haul it to a local Dodge dealer. Once it was
unloaded, it fired right up......then failed a few minutes later. I had
the dealer replace it and it was very expensive. I stumbled upon a
Dodge Ram tech paper concerning Fuel Pump failures......turns out,
there is a lot of other fuel related components that can appear as a
bad fuel pump. So, you may want a dealer to check it out. Be
prepaired to spend a few bucks....fuel pumps are sold as a complete
assembly by Dodge.....not just the little pump.
