do u have dual tanks, if you do, switch to you other one and see if it still does it, mine has the same problem and gotten progressively worse and i am almost positive it is the fuel pump but i am just waiting on the cash to get a new one

If you havn't already, change the fuel filter. It's cheap, might fix your problem, and you probably need a new one anyway. My truck did the same thing and I chased things forever before I figured it out. Now I change the filter every year or 25k miles, whichever comes first.
