Well Monday we had just got a bunch of snow and ice and I was leavin my grandmas to come get somethin from my house.well I had just used 4wheel drive an I knew I needed it to get up my driveway so I just left my hubs locked in.well my frontend started popin and I went to so up my drive way in 4x4 and we'll I had none.so I just parked the truck across the road from my house.ok well Thursday it melted enough to get it out and it started right up.it died goin down the road and I started it right back up.well today it didn't wanna start on the rear tank and I had just filled it last week and i haven't ran off that tank at all.i finally got it started on the front tank which I also filled up and haven't drove much on it.well tonight I just got back from my grandpas visitation with my freinds who came to support me threw it.and the truck was at my grandparents and I went to get it started and it started and died and I did it agian and it started and I had my foot to the floor an it ran wide open for a second and then it was like it was choking and not gettin enough fuel.so I switched back to the back tank and it tried to start but wouldn't so we pushed it in 3rd gear and it still wouldn't start.so either someone syfined all my fuel or my ip's goin back out.but it was runnin good earlyer today.i don't I'm lost.thanks in advanced for the help and I'm sorry for rambling

Man.... Slow your roll.

Check your fuel pressure.
Sound like the tank selector valve could be fuddin up.

Maybe change your fuel filter also.

Are either fuel gauge working so you can see if you have any fuel, you thought maybe someone siphoned all your fuel.
Your running out of fuel after a start then dies, or your sucking air, or your lift pump took a ****. Pull the filter off and see if it's full or half empty.
Have you ever dropped the tanks and cleaned them?
Could be the FSV is stuck half way between shifts.

Pull the line from the lift pump and crank it over, if you don't have any fuel coming out after cranking for a bit I'd be checking everything from the tanks to the lift pump, could be as simple as a bad fuel line. You have a fuel delivery problem by your description. Fuel lines, lift pump, plugged fuel filters, selector valve are all possibilities

I guess it could draw from both tanks at the same time if your selector switch was stuck. And then you could suck air if one tank went dry. Or someone could've siphoned some of your fuel, also. Only you could decide that depending if you felt you've driven enough miles to burn up how ever much fuel you had in your tanks. If someone did steal your fuel, I hope they have a gasser and mess up their whole tank with mixed gas and diesel.
