Stalling, running rough?

My 1990 over the past few weeks runs noticably rougher on an incline with the nose of the truck higher then the rear, and some times will stall if I hit the brakes hard while on the incline. I have also noticed that the gas milege is down a bit also..only mods are a ground fuel pin and 10 click on starwheel and BHAF. Any thoughts??

Look for a leaky fuel line between the tank and the lift pump.

It's possible, but an air leak is more likely.
