Bryan,
First thing I would do is leave the gas tank cap loose or off after
refueling to see if there is some sort of issue with tank venting. Also, if
you have access to a pressure gauge put it in the fuel line up near the
engine and monitor fuel pressure to see if it is consistent. Based on past
threads at some point they stopped using a fuel filter in line mounted to
the frame rail and integrated it into the tank. If you have one on the frame
rail and it has not been replaced recently change it.
