I have a 1987 Ramcharger 318 2bbl carb. I went through some carburetor issues a while back getting poorly re manufactured one, but I am pretty certain that has been sorted out, and this problem may have not been discovered earlier due to carb problems. The truck runs absolutely great. However it has been randomly dying on me and when it does it acts like its running out of gas. Every time it's died its been while turning and at very low speed. And its very sparatic when it happens. It will run perfectly for days, and then when I'm turning into work or turning into my driveway it will sputter and die. It will also immediately restart and go back to normal. When I bought the truck the fuel pump on it was no good, it wouldn't pull any gas, so I replaced it. About a month later my mechanic replaced the fuel pump again because it stopped working on him while he was taking care of the carburetor problems. Yesterday I had to go to napa and get a new fuel pump because the truck wouldn't start and yet again fuel pump wasn't pulling gas. I also replaced the fuel filter again even though it was new, because I wanted to crack it open and take a look inside. The filter looks perfectly clean, so I feel I don't have an issue of the pump getting clogged up with tank debris however short of dropping the tank I can't confirm that isn't an issue. But in the last 4 months this thing has had 3 fuel pumps, from two different sources and two brands of pumps. Is there anything wrong with the truck that could be causing this? Or am I just having extremely bad luck with parts failing?

definitely replace the rubber lines from the sender to the frame while the tank is out
