About 5 days ago my "water in fuel" light came on after filling the tank. had not drained the seperator yet and filled the tank again today and pulled off in the grass at a friends house and when i went to leave i was stuck. noticed the heat wasnt blowing warm air and after a dodge tried to yank me out of the mud a few times my truck died and wont start. i drained and water seperator and pushed the fuel shut off reset thinking maybe being yanked caused the fuel shut off but still nothing. Any ideas?? thanks!

I would check the oil pressure of the engine. The reason is the timing chain tensioners are run with oil pressrue. I think your timing chain tensioners are leaking down when engine is getting to operating tempature . The oil is thinning down as warms up , as it should to lubercate . I would check compression and do a cylinder leak down test on all the cylinders. Then if the compression is good and the cylinder leak down is good. I would change all the timing components, ( chain, timing gears, timing chain tensioners )
Good Luck , I hope this helps.

Your truck is built with electronic power steering assist, meaning there is an electric solenoid on the power steering pump and a steering wheel position sensor on the bottom of the steering column. Have it checked for codes first.
The position sensor causes weird problems.
The steering gear can also bypass fluid to the wrong side of the valve. When the yank happens is the steering wheel in about the same place?
Be careful when driving the truck until you get it fixed.

Replace the fuel pump relay. And if your truck has dual tanks there's three fuel pumps, one in each tank and another secondary fuel pump.

Was it the fuel pump? If not I would consider the charging system ie) battery, alternator or both.
