Just a little background; I was having diminished MPGs and increased cranking time leading me to a dying fuel pump. As I'm sure it was original to the truck or at the very most been replaced once (although unlikely, I've owned the truck for nearly 100k) I went ahead an replaced it. Triple-checked my connections and made sure it was seated correctly and it fired up first try, but upon my next fill up, it took forever to fill and that lead me to this thread:

So I think I have an answer to part of the problem, however, after filling up the first time and pulling up to an intersection it died on me as I came to a stop. Starts right back up, but once I got through the turn it started bucking like it wasn't getting fuel... pull over an let it run to make sure it won't cut out on me. It goes away and no longer a problem, until the next time I need to fill up.
I still need to address the slow-fill issue, but after filling up the next time, I pull out of the gas station and it starts bucking again(starving for fuel) for about half a block, clears up and then runs normal.
I've re-checked all my hose/wire connections with the bed on and don't see/feel any issues other than the bucking under load after a fill up...any advice?
I'm travelling for work at the moment so I don't have access to the truck, but its an issue that's been gnawing at me that I'd like to address when I get back.
TIA
