Lift pump Strikes?

I was coming from a 70mph parkway onto a lower speed area and the truck jump three times and fell dead. Threw a P0628.

I called my guy at Dodge and one of their techs said to let it cool and then tap it a few times. It worked. I started it and drove it another half hour.

I tried to make it toward home (a little over 100 miles) knowing I was on borrowed time.

I ended up having the truck towed in and it's at my mothers.

Does this thing have a lift pump relay? Nothing under the hood identifies any relay as such. Is it a cut and dry lift pump failure?

I'm prepared to go aftermarket but not if it's a simple failure.

I also noticed that after it shut down permanently, I had a puddle under the drain line from the fuel filter. It hadn't been leaking before. I think maybe I hit it with the beer bottle I tapped the lift pump with.

Funny thing is I had commented on the almost 21mpg I was getting. then it dies within ten minutes.

Thanks,
(Worn out) Kyle
