Default Cuts off in traffic-HELP!

I'm having a strange problem with my LS-1 powered S-10. When the outside air temperature is above 60 F. and I'm in stop and go traffic, it feels like the truck just runs out of gas and quits. It only does this when the gas gauge is lower than half a tank and its driving me nuts! It won't start and you have to wait about 5-10 minutes until it will crank up. Downright dangerous. If I stop and fill it up no problem. I thought maybe the gauge is wrong but it will only hold about 6-7 gal on the fill up. I've changed the IAT, the MAF, checked for vacuum leaks, left the gas cap loose (old trouble from the fifties, the tank would draw vacuum). It throws no codes. Anyone got any ideas.....Thanks, Jim
