Look under the drivers side frame rail for the fuel filter. Replace it. If that did'nt solve it test the psi on the fuel pump. Any good garage will have a pressure tester for this. Replace if is over/under spec. Just from what you say it sounds as if the filter is plugged and the pump is over working to get gas up to the engine and burning it up.(the pump)
