Hello, my truck runs good until I get down around 1/2 tank of fuel and then it will start bogging down or cutting out or acting like it's running out of fuel. Sometimes it will die as you might be rolling up to a red light and it is hard to start but will eventually start. I have changed both fuel filters and inspected what I could for water in the fuel and havent found anything out of ordinary. Is there anybody here that is familiar with this problem. I heard, just heard that it maybe the in tank pump or something to do with the draw straws on the pump being a bad design. Any help would be appreciated.

I have been diagnosing my Camshaft sensor issue after installing a new ECU in my 1999 5sp Manual 2500. I have been going through the article: http://articles.mopar1973man.com/3rd-generation-dodge-cummins/60-obdii-error-codes/312-p0341-camshaft-position-cmp-sensor-signal I am using the pin-out from the FSM to locate the wire positions in the ECU connector and the sensor connector. There are numbers on the ECU connector for reference. I have found the conducting wire which actually goes to the Ecu connector in spot 9 instead of spot 17 as specified in the pin-out. There is full continuity between the Pin C in the cam sensor connector and pin 9 in the Ecu connector. I was about to cut and solder due to diagnostic specifications and lack of continuity of the specified pins, Then I noticed the color of the wires is different. I would appreciate any understanding as to why this is the case and help me to find the best solution to my issue. And replacing the cam sensor is a major PiTA...
