Sounds like you off easy with the pump. Could just be a clog or some water. Some things to remember before you go back:
1) Was it producing large amounts of steam or smoke from exhaust? A strong antifreeze smell means head gasket. This will rob you of all power. Since you will get back when it is cold, before you turn it on, smell the exhaust pipe for antifreeze. If there are any of those symptoms, get it towed where you can do some major work.
2) If no smoke or steam from exhaust, and if you are certain it is not the drive train, know where the fuel filter is and what it would take to do it along side the road (Many need special tools to remove). If more than a few seconds work and your along side the road, have it moved somewhere safe (remember, a car broken down along side the road is more likely to collect other cars than other where else). Since you just filled up, buy a siphon and some gas cans, take a bottle of "HEET" and "Sea Foam" to put in the tank. They both control H2O if you picked any up at the last fill up and start at replacing the fuel filter.
Yes thank u. I have already purchased both heet and seafoam to bring w. Removing the fuel pump is not too difficult and requires only basic tools. Did examine the engine for smells and anything odd...found nothing unusual. No smell of antifreeze or smoke coming from exhaust. Did recently, about 2months ago have a fouled plug which i replaced. Should have done them all but was in a rush. So wasnt sure if the symptoms wud be that severe over a possible blown plug. Plus like i stated before, no check engine light. Appreciate the advise! Seems like i will just need to pinpoint exactly what failed. Do agree seems to be gas related or fuel pump/filter/pressure regulator...

I assume the truck isn't due for a tune up if it is an '07. Sound like a mass air flow or manifold pressure sensor problem. Autozone will pull the problem code for free and the sensors aren't too expensive, but I your truck should be covered under warranty right?

OK that's different...First, you will need to check the battery for 12v. (no testing can be done without proper voltage there) Lights working does not tell you this.
You will need to do a code check before replacing any parts. Without testing there are numerous possible causes and it will cost you $$$ to replace all of them before "hitting" on the right solution. (you just found that out by replacing the pump.) There are other individual component tests you can do using a digital volt/ohmeter.
Offhand, the first place I'd check is the crankshaft position sensor. They are notorious for this kind of failure BUT don't replace it till you test it! post back with any questions and results you get. (in other words, we are not finished yet!!)
SOURCE: fuel pump or filter possibly
the idle control sensor could be bad give these websites a try www.alldatadiy.com and www.autozone.com if all fails stop by your local GM dealership and ask for the manager and he can tell you what is going on if that fails stop by your local library and get your hands on a Haynes auto repair manual for you car wish you the best Michigan Man.

your problem is probably a transmission issue. try having your transmission flushed/filter changed. goodluck
