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?
