89' fuel problem

I have searched and I guess I am not searching correct term. I have 89' F250, 351. I bought the truck with fuel problem. The selector valve is new from when I purchased. Truck ran good for a few days then, stalled out-like ran out of gas. Took to my local mechanic and it was determined the the front pump went out. Replaced that and it seem to run good. Drove it for a day, problem came back. Only this time, I could let truck sit for a few minutes ,fire it up run about a 1/4 mile then die. Let truck set for 2-3 minutes and repeat. I removed the gas cap off the front tank as thats the one I was running on, thinking vacuum? no difference Any suggestions? guidance to other posts dealing with this?

Have you changed the fuel filter? The fuel filter should be easy to change on that truck. I would try that first.

Filters were changed when the pump was changed by my local mechanic. It seems the problem starts once the truck is warmed up. Any ideas?
