PSD quit in tunnel

I was driving through the Liberty Tunnels in Pittsburgh tonight when the engine quit. Fortunately there wasn't anyone in front of me and I was able to coast to the end of the tunnel and onto the ramp. The engine would restart but when I put into drive it would quit. Then I decided to switch tanks to see if that would change things. It ran and I was able to resume my trip. I stopped and bought a new fuel filter and a can of Sea Foam. I made it home but the truck stopped about 300 yds from the house. It started and I got home. Do you have any ideas what to check.

Truck quit in tunnel II

I had more than 3/4 in the front tank and 1/2 in the back tank. The CPS was changed in November. I did use one from Advance since it was the only place open at the time.
