I just installed new heads and re-built the motor, since then, when it gets hot outside, the truck acts like it ran out of gas. It did it today and there is a full tank. After it cools off for a while, it will start again. When its cool out it runs great. I put a new fuel filter in it and had the fuel pump replaced last year. It's getting spark too. HELP !!!

Don't wait do below immediately and report back with some results

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
