Default 96 EB F150 4.9L Bad Fuel Pump?

I have a 96 EB F150 5spd with the 4.9L.

Front tank acts like a bad pump..sometimes it will just die even with gas in the tank. Rear tank is fine...

When running on front tank sometimes it will buck and jerk or bog down like its starving...none of these issues EVER happen on the rear tank.

Are there just 2 Fuel Pumps in these trucks? Do both tanks feed into 1 line and 1 filter? I'm just trying to find out where to start troubleshooting..

Yes, yes and yes to all three of your questions.

There is one electric fuel pump in each gas tank,
with one common fuel line and one fuel filter feeding the fuel rail to the injectors.

Sounds like you need to replace the front tank's fuel pump.
