After it dies, remove the fuel caps from the tanks. Listen for air sucking into the tank. If you hear air rushing in, the vent is plugged on that tank. A plugged vent will caus a vaccume that the lift pump can not overcome. Letting the truck overnight, will allow the tank pewssure to return to normal.
