Asked by GuruLHK6V Apr 11, 2019 at 08:40 AM about the 2008 Dodge RAM 1500 SLT Quad Cab 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 4.7L.  Filled it up with gas, drove
approximately 30 miles and now it cranks but won't start.  When I turn the
ignition on the fuel gauge does not move off of empty and the low gas level light
is on

check for a good ground/power at the fuel pump disconnect , seems a fuel pump should last longer but who knows it may be a bad sending unit which I believe is on the pump .

Pretty sure fuel pump is pumping. (not with truck right now to verify currently) Would this affect the gas gauge and low gas light?
