Angry No fuel in the filter

Just started my 01 truck and headed out the driveway. Truck died like fuel was shut off. It started up but died again and then no start after. I opened up the filter and there was about 1" of fuel in the bottom. The dealer put in an intank pump just last year and i maybe put on 5K miles since. Did I lose the pump or is it worse?

Or your fuel tank is empty, because the fuel senders are known to read 1/2 tank and be empty.... throw a gallon or two in there just to be sure

No fuel

I found the wire going to the aux relay that the dealer put in does not have power. There was some black rubber thing near the fuse box that when I took off a cap it was all corroded inside so no power to the relay. I jumped that thing and now hear the pump running. It seems to run a couple of seconds after turning off the key. Is this right? Now I will try to bleed out the VP.

Talking Fixed

It was the wire for the aux relay put in by the dealer for the in tank pump.
There is a little fuseable link?? rubber piece that when opened was all corrosion like battery acid inside. I bypassed it and bled the injectors and back on the road. Thanks to all for your help and support!!!!
