Engine runs then looses fuel.

1999 Dodge 3500 4x4 5.9
The truck has a hard start issue where the truck would take a while to start and would run for about 30 seconds and then the fuel cuts out. After it stalls out it takes a while to get back in the filter housing. After it does eventually get fuel to the filter it will repeat the whole process with no codes even while the truck is running. The truck does have a raptor lift pump in it as well. Any ideas on what could be causing this? All input is appreciated.

I bet it is sucking in air between the lift pump and the fuel tank.
Check all connections, clamps, fuel lines and the pick up coming out of the tank.

I will check that but it almost feels like something is shutting the lift pump off after a short period.

Well that should be pretty easy to check as most electric pumps make a decent hum when they run.

You could also check it out with a fuel pressure gauge after the lift pump, which is something I put on most any 24V I own. This is because the lift pumps die, then take out the injection pump in short order.
