Truck dying

My truck sputters and dies as if it is out of fuel when I shift it into 5th gear.
the first time this happened, I was cruising to in 4th gear.
I have changed the life pump.

not sure what to do next

Some basic 7.3 troubleshooting should get you on the right path.

Was/Is oil level full in crankcase?

What was the fuel level in the tank at when the shutoff occurred?

Have you checked/changed the fuel filter recently?

Any other issues with the truck at all?
