Have you checked your fuel pressure after changing the pump? Did you also replace the filter?

Checked for vacuum leaks? Checked the vacuum hoses for wear? Cleaned/replaced the MAF?

Most likely the easiest thing to do would be to invest in something like the BAFX scanner and either an android phone or laptop with bluetooth (or get the wireless version if you are using iphone) and get some data from the truck. Check your fuel trims and O2 sensors at a guess.
