    Hello everyone.
    Okay my truck runs fine until i get to a 1/4 tank. Then it will some times feel like the engine dies. Or when i get back on the gas pedal the truck does nothing for a breif second. I have tried seafoam two times, and nothing. Fuel filter is new. Could it be the fuel pump? Or the strainer?

    Any help would be great. As of know i just try to keep the tank full.

    Could be a fuel pump issue. 2 things you can do. First, Keep over 1/4 of fuel in your truck. Or, Drop the tank (or pull the bed off), and inspect the fuel pump.

    Well i filled it up today and things went ookay for a few miles. Then i hit a corner pretty fast and it started it again. When I went and pressed the gas it took a few seconds before the rpms picked up. It was also skipping alittle bit. No CEL.
