If this is happening on hills, but runs good downhill and flat areas, then I would suspect the fuel pump.

If it happens excellerating, then either the fuel pump or the fuel filter or even bad gas.

One easy trick to check for bad gas is to take a shot glass sample of the fuel and put it into a styrofoam cup, if it doesn't disolve the bottom out of the cup in 20 seconds or less, add a can of heat to get rid of the water.

If there is no check engine light, check the connection for the fuel pump and fuel guage float. Is is located on the top of the fuel tank. The S-10's had a recall concerning this connector, and I have seen several where the connector contacts showed signs of severe overheating and./or intermittent contact of the 12 volt power feed to the fuel pump.

My 1995 Chevy Blazer will stall out only after it get warm. I recently replaced the fuel pump due to a cracked fuel line. I replaced the fuel filter as well. What else could be causing it to stall out?

Could be a vac leak or a problem with the EGR valve among other things. Fuel pressure regulator comes to mind too.
If you did not use a GM pump I would recheck your fuel pressure.
If you have the vortec engine it takes at least 65psi of fuel pressure to make it run.

My 95' Chevy diesel k2500 stalls out when im driving it. it will idle just fine and starts back up right after stalling. truck will drive about 1 mile before stalling again. What Can I check?

I have replaced many injector driver modules on these diesels. GM has redesigned it and i have never had a replacement one fail. This is a known problem for the 6.5 diesel. Unfortunately its about a 500 dollar part from the dealer, and requires intake removal, and some very tight work space to replace.

Engine turns over but won't start / 1995 F-150

Sounds alot like the ignition sensor. In my old Chevys it was under the dist cap, mounted on the dist itself. Mine was flat, slightly curved rectangle shape, with two flat prongs coming out both sides. If it would get an internal break in it, you cant see it. I would have the same problem as you, part was only about $12. And comes out with unscrewing two screws.
Might want to give it a shot.

Chevy 4.3 fuel prombems..?

I'd be replacing oil sender. GM have used oil pressure switch as a safety shut-off to fuel pump, when oil pressure drops off, as it would in a collision, due to engine stall.
