I utilize my vehicle for rural mail delivery, so there is a lot of stop-and-go during a normal day. I have instances where the truck will stall out, usually after it has been running for about two hours. When I feel it start to stall, pushing the pedal doesn't help. It feels like it is starving for fuel, and sometimes it will catch and continue running, other times it just dies. The truck will usually fire right back up and run a little bit, then cut out. Needless to say, this run-die-restart can make for a longer day, not to mention the extra wear and tear on the starter. Ideas before I start replacing parts?

Throw a fuel pressure gauges at it and check fuel pump /pressure
if fuel pump at fault make sure you check the connector plug and replace if any signs or damage or burnt wire
