96 Yukon won't start

My 96 Yukon was running fine until Sunday night. It started to stall as I was on the expressway. It acted like it was out of gas. This went on for a couple miles then stalled. I was able to get it started again but it continued for the next ten miles. every few minutes it would start to bog out until finally it stalled and would not start again. Is this something typical or am I just lucky. I am hoping it is not the fuel pump but afraid it is. I had someone turn the key as I listened for the pump to turn on, which it didn't, however I dont remember it ever making noise when the ignition was turned. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have a 96 Yukon as well, and I hate to brake it to you, but it is your Fuel Pump! Mine did the same thing off and on for a few weeks and then finally bit it. If you get no sound when you turn the key to the on position it's gone. I replaced mine myself and it's running great now, if need any pointers on replacing yours, drop me a line. Good Luck.

I was afraid of that. Is it difficult to replace the fuel pump. Thanks for your help.
