Are you sure it ran out of gas??
If it did infact run out of fuel then after you put fuel back in it then just turn the key on and do not try to start it and wait about 5 seconds. Then turn key off and repeat steps again about 5 times and then turn key off and then start the engine. It should start.
The 1998 K2500 Suburban has a 44 gallon gas tank.
You probably have a clogged fuel hose.
Start by checking your fuel filter.
See link.

you should take a fuel line out ,where the filter is at, and check if it squirts out gas ........

Probably a bad fuel pump, GM fuel pumps are known for that.
