1- Use only GM/Delco fuel pumps/ autozone etc dont last and next year or sooner you'll be replacing it again.
2 - It is more than likely the fuel pressure regulator located on the intake manifold.. $50.00 vs $300 for fuel pump.
From the symptoms it sounds like it could be either. $50 is cheaper and also easier to replace so I'd probably try that first. I assume the regulator just bleeds off pressure when it fails much like the check valve at the pump can?
I had a Dodge Dakota with the same symptoms and it was the pump.
