off to go around the mess and all of a sudden noticed that my fuel gage was on
E and the "feed me" light was starting at me with its evil orange glow. Looked
at my miles since last fill up, hmmn only 180...shouldn't it be at least
230+++??? Weird, maybe I took some road debris and have a hole in the tank or
broke a line. Pull into gas station crawl under truck, no gas smell, no
apparent damage, well let's try and turn the truck back on, and what do you
know I had about 1/2 a tank.

Had the same issue happening on my 02. Your fuel sending unit is going out. I
had it replaced under warranty and had a really nice dealer who wrote it up as
gas gauge not work and motor stalling so he could justify replacing the fuel
pump/filter while they were in the tank..
