Not sure if you've already done this but- My fathers Ramcharger showed your same initial symptoms a while back so I replaced the fuel pump and after 2 weeks same problem- The cheap new fuel pump was DEFECTIVE- Replaced it w/a better quality one and has had no problems since.

We say "knock on wood" over here. I think you caught a few Americans off guard when you said "touch wood".... they may have had other thoughts and wondered about you...

Wow, you must e ready to run it off a bloody cliff. Have you checked manifold bolts? or sprayed carb cleaner looking for vac leaks?
