truck died
Ok, im on my way to work this mornin. Stop in a truck stop for a coffee. Go to take off and my '03 dies. Just flat out dies like i turned off the key. The distance to empty was at 0 but im usually good for at least 50 miles when that happens, and it just went to 0. Was gonna fuel up after work. Well, i started it back up (started fine, no excessive cranking). Pulled up to the pump and put $20 in to hurry and get to work. Drove fine the remaining 2 miles. Anyone ever had something like this happen?

Ok, new problem. Now, when going down the highway and going up a hill, anytime the truck is working a little, it surges losing power. I hope its the fuel filter, not the cp3. Its starving for fuel. Im thinking when i ran it low i sucked up junk in my filter? Do cp3s ever get weak or do they just stop working when they wear out?

Don’t know if my situation was or is the same as yours but my lift pump was on its way out and I didn't know it.
One day I was on my way out to pick up some wood for building a few cabinets and hit the interstate with the trailer in tow, just got up to highway speed and the truck just fell flat on its face chokin sputterin and buckin around (well over a half tank) put her in neutral cleared up and babied it home.
Changed out the pump and filter, (no sense in changing one and not the other) haven't had an issue since
But yeah in the winter time I never go below a half tank
