04 engine starts then dies

Coming home last night around 2:00 AM and 16 degrees outside the engine started bucking and kicking then died. It fired right up and drove for another couple miles then started bucking again. Died several times but would always start until it finally died at a stop sign. It will fire up after hard cranking, but then dies shortly after it fires. Does it sound like the lift or fuel pump? I had it towed into a Dodge dealer and they will look at it tomorrow. It is an 04 305/555 with 48RE if that matters. Anything else it could be? And if it is either pump, what is the current reccomendation for replacement pumps and what shoud it cost?

Thanks,

Rhino
