My dads 2001 3500 is stuck on empty. The factory replaced the lift pump with the intake pump and the injector pump. If worked for a week and went out. Took it in and the "fixed it" and now 1 month later stuck at empty again. What would cause this? How can we fix it? Thanks

Did you mean they replaced the lift pump with the inTANK pump?
The fuel level sending unit in these trucks is famously weak. When they did the tank work they probably disturbed the sending unit, and caused it to fail. OR the wiring at the tank has failed.
