That is somewhat limited info, but I would GUESS that it could be the crankshaft positon sensor, the coil or a bad oxygen sensor.
A flaky fuel pump can do this too.

How about the sliding portion of the steering shaft or the shaft coupler? Any play in those?

So you are saying that a new pcm solved some of the problems. The steering on these trucks is not nearly as precise as a Ford but "death wobble"??

Are you towing, is this perhaps a towing or trailor issue?
