Either way, I'm about to run to the parts store, grab some new fuel line and filters, switch those out, then run the truck to see what happens.
Just so you know... The rubber lines connecting the fuel pump to the fuel lines running along the frame rail are NOT the only ones. The following is a description of a factory in-cab fuel tank.. The steel fuel line(s) come off the fuel gauge sending unit and run straight down the front of the tank and pass through the floor. The line(s) make a right turn and run toward the passenger side frame rail. Rubber fuel line(s) connect these lines to the ones going forward along the frame rail.. These rubber lines should be replaced also.
