1) Did you use OEM CPS? Aftermarkets have a track record for not working right, even right out of the box.

2) Any windshield leaks letting water get onto/into your PCM or GEM? Look around for moisture under the dash.

As far as fuel related issues go... How much fuel in the tank? More than 1/4? You could see fuel flow at the bowl with no load but not enough to sustain 60 PSI while running. Possible clogged screens in the tank as well.

If this only happens when you wash the truck or it rains I would have the windshield pulled, cleaned and resealed. Known issue for water to drain the A pillar and cause issues when it hits the back of the fuse panel and the GEM on older models.
