I replaced the fuel pump awhile back, and had no problems for awhile I replaced harness and all with new fuel filter and fuel pump relay. After about 300 miles it stalled on me but restarted after a few minutes and I made it home, I thought water I refueled tank and added a fuel dryer. I went on a 200 mile trip and it stalled again would not start my passengers help push along with a couple police officers out of traffic after pushing The damn thing started, it cut out a couple times on the way home but it made it running 80 all the way. Today I went 12 miles to Walmart with no problems and picked up a throttle position sensor at advance auto on the way home, It stalled again would not restart I had my son bring my tools and replaced throttle sensor on the side of the interstate it started made it home. I then took it and ran it up and down the road checking it out but lord and behold it done it again I coasted in the driveway would not restart, I let it sit 30 minutes and the dam thing starts. I really like the truck but I am starting to remember why I have not own a chevy for so long LOL

Tps has nothing to do with stalling. You need to check the fuel pressure to see if it is holding or fading away.

Did you flush the tank of all debris with the fuel pump replacement?

See if you have spark as well when it dies. That could be a crank sensor
