One filter, on the frame rail next to the front tank. I'd bet your front pump is on its way out. How does it start on the front pump after it sits overnight or for an extended period of time?
If you run the truck low on fuel often, I'd put money on that front pump going out. Best way to diagnose is check fuel pressue at the fuel rail (driver side rail, there is a shraeder valve to connect a gauge to). I'm not sure on this but I think you want 38psi+ at idle. Could always check it on both pumps and if the front is lower than the rear you know its going bad/is bad.

Sound like the fuel pump going out. My front tank done that as well, sometimes you would be going along fine then act like it was running out of gas then pick back up again, and it would run just fine off the rear tank. It finally got to the point the only time I could run the front tank is if I was just cruising at speed, then it finally quit all together.
