It could be the fuel pump relay. You need to check the voltage at the fuel pump when the problem happens. Also make sure the fuel pump ground is tight and clean.

I have the 96 suburban and fuel pumps are a problem i've dealt with. After replacing my 2nd one it began to behave as you describe; sitting and idiling fine, but on the road it occassionally cut out. Went to remove the pump, again, and found loose wiring was the problem. I'd check that first if you haven't already. Then the pump pressure. Even new pumps can go bad or be bad out of the box. steve
