Fuel pump, filter or else?

Question:
2002 Chevy 2500HD 6.0L driving down the road and it acted like it was running out of gas. I turned around heading back home and the truck died. Was getting pulled into town and truck started and ran alright for a little while but acted lik it had little power. Filled up with gas and drove one mile it died again. Let it set for a couple hours started up but when I tried to give it gas it would die.

Even if it is the fuel pump, changing the fuel filter should be changed regularly anyway, and it is much cheaper than a new fuel pump, so you might as well try that first!

One close possibility, based on your description, is the catalytic converter being plugged up...while it may not be it, the symptoms sound like it.

Why should I change my transmission fluid?

COULD BE EITHER THE FILTER OR THE PUMP GETTING WEAK. YOU NEED TO HAVE ATLEAST 40 PSI TO THE RAILS FOR IT TO RUN PROPERLY. IT ALSO COULD BE THAT IT IS GETTING TO HOT AROUND THE FEUL LINES AND VAPOR LOCKING. WHICH MEANS THE FUEL IS GETTING HOT AND BOILING. BEST THING IS TAKE IT TO YOUR LOCAL MECHANIC AND HAVE HIM TEST THE FUEL PRESSURE FOR YOU AND DETERMINE IF IT IS THE PUMP, FILTER, OR POSSIBLY SOMETHING ELSE. GOOD LUCK
