Check the fuel filter and the lines at the tank.My Ramcharger did pretty much the same thing.The steel line on the sender was rotted away.Are you sure the pum is pumpimg?Ive also seen them where the eccentric on the cam was worn and wouldnt let the pump work right.Easy to find out.Just get a gas can and some hose and feed the pump from it.Rocky

As said give every inch of line a good checking over esp the neoprene sections. Might not have to R&R the tank & more than likely the sending unit (at least the line part of it) is fine & the pinhole leak is further downstream if this is a fuel delivery problem. EDIT forgot about the sock possibly being plugged & if so just blow it off or make a hole in it w 100 lbs of shop air w your rubber tipped nozzle. If the sock is blown off it will not cause any problem floating around in there & just (as always) use a good filter up front.

My Ram Charger was a roach plow truck.The shield was imposible to get off as it was like 19 degrees and had gas all over it.I figuyred out where the sender was and cut a flap in the floor to remove it.All my lines to the pump were good but the steel out of the sender had rotted thru.New sender bent the flap back down and I was plowing again.Rocky

when ever i think i have a fuel problem i rig up i small gas can under the hood (pass fender works best) then i can test drive,it may idle fine but the real test is on the road on the gas! sometimes u can blow air into the hose u unhooked by the fuel pump & see if you can hear it in the tank
