Have you tried giving it a jump? you probably have either a bad altenator or starter. both are cheap parts and quite easy to fix

    The engine turns over just fine, just will not start. I was driving at 40 mph and it just quit running, no cough, no surge, just died.

1998 gmc 4.3 starts up but loses power 3-5 mins later,will restart and run again for another short time,fuel filter has just been replaced.
Install a pressure gauge, start and run 3-5 minutes and watch the pressure. You should see the pressure maintain as it did when first started. If it begins to drop, the fuel pump has gotten weak and is starting to fail.
Let me know what you find.
Regards.

1997 gmc sierra shuts off while driving
Had same problem with a Yukon. Turned out to be a bad fuel pump (Won't show codes.) When cold ran fine, heated up, no pressure. Would start after sitting for about 1/2 hour. When engine dies on you check for fuel pressure under the hood.

Is there an inline fuel filter in a 1997 gmc 2500 sierra truck wi
On the drivers side frame rail (inside) is your fuel filter. Cheap to replace. But if you don't hear the pump cycling prior to attempting start it is more than likely pump in the tank. Check fuses first though. Big job
