Default Runnin, but rough, then dies...

So i got my truck to run Finally... However when i do get it to crank it idles so rough i have to give it a lil gas then it evens out which is fine by me.. however as soon as the truck warms up it shuts off on me for some reason. I have to bicycle my battery up to the nearest auto store to charge the battery and ive killed it twice already.. Does anybody have an idea of how to fix this delimia? I think it has to do with the choke but how could i eliminate it? jus take it off? and if not why would it run fine for 2-3min then jus cut off an not want to crank back up?

It sounds like a vacuum leak.
