I have a 93 7.3. my truck starts and idles fine. as soon as you get on the road and hit passed 40. it stalls out and dies. then it takes a minute to fire back up. ive replaced IP, FF, injectors, return line kit, mechanical fuel pump. and its still doing it. and ideas? mybe I put MFP in wrong? this was the first thng I replaced a year ago and don't recall it doing it before. thought about putin in E pump

mine did the same before i replaced from the fuel pick up, to the fuel pump.
found chunks at the bottom of the tank that would clog the pick up.

Is the fuel filter somewhat new and/or are there any other fuel filters in the system? If so any filter could be clogged, and can show itself in those symptoms.

Also could be what was already suggested, both issues present about the same.
