97 f250 crew cab 97k miles

Last october I flew from Alabama to Oregon and bought a 97 f250 Crew cab with and only 97k miles on it . I drove this truck home . through the mountains and even ice with NO ISSUES . Here we are in the summer months in Alabama and initially the truck became hard to start.It would take 2-3 times of trying to start it before it would actually crank. a few weeks later and i am driving down the road and it acts like it ran out of gas. front tank had half back was full. (gas not diesel) I replaced the fuel filter with no issues but the problem persists . Any idea what I should look at next ?

what engine does it have? this section is for the 7.3 and 6.8 gas engines, which were not an engine option in 97.
