I ran out of fuel one day and then once I fill back up I’ve been having problems…The truck will crank right up with no problem, but as soon as I get going good it shuts off. I’ll let it sit for a few minutes and it’ll crank up again and do the same thing over and over again.
I’ve pulled the fuel module out of the tank and made sure everything was good on it. And there is no water in the fuel…I also changed the fuel filter. Is the problem one of my pumps or is it possible it’s something minor? Thanks for any help.

Sounds like you may need to bleed your fuel line. You may have a little air in the lines as a result of running out of fuel.
Try bleeding your lines. It seems you had no problem prior to running out of fuel, so that’s why I suspect the problem is in your fuel line.
You’ve already replaced the filter, so that can’t be the problem, and it seems that if you had a fuel pump problem, you would have noticed it earlier on, before running out of fuel.
diesel engine is a whole nother ball game. their nice to have and tough as hell but i cant work on em like a gas engine an the repair bills are hefty. cud b a injector,glow plug,something internally,but after runnin it out of gas it prolly has air in the line
Did you perform the Fuel Pump Manual Priming Procedure when you ran out? You pulled the fuel module out but, did you check to see if it has 10-25 PSI? You should do the complete bleed procedure now! Loosen the air bleed on fuel filter housing first, Now push the manual prime button on the pump to force out any remaining air, close air bleed screw, now Bleed the air at the fuel injectors while cranking. Use caution, as the pressure can reach 17,405 PSI. Also check the fuel cutoff solenoid operation. When the engine is cranked over, the arm that it is connected to should move up about 1/2 inch.
