New and random stalling issue

Will is right, your truck is now considered a classic. your truck is about to turn 30 years old! think about the rubber hoses coming off the tank sending unit, and any other fuel lines, brake hoses and more. it's all done it's job and then some!

if your fuel tank is full or has more than 1/2 a tank, if you have the means, you might think about pulling the bed off. iirc you can access the tank sending unit directly without dropping the tank this way. plus you get to see and fix any other can of worms back there in the process along with cleaning the frame and protecting it with a coat of rust converter while your at it. once you get all the things fixed, before you reinstall the bed you can easily throw a landscape timber across the back with a set of trailer lights or even those magnetic mount lights on the frame and take it for a drive without the bed in place.

And for that same reason, about aging hoses, every hose related to the fuel and cooling systems on My truck is getting new hoses.
Split the crimps on the steel lines of the return pipe and new hose is getting shoved on, aaand, I had to wait the extra time to get 5/16ths SAE30R9 hose through Amazon.
Found a nice deal on a spool of 5/16ths USA made Continental hose.
That was the only size that Quadstar does not send in the Air Dog kit.
So beware, if anyone switching to that very nice Air Dog kit then be for ordering that 5/16 diesel fuel rated hose ahead of time and have it waiting.
