Usually a stalling once warm issue is a bad oxygen sensor or coolant temp sensor. Did you check for any stored check engine light codes? The FAQ has a write up on how to do it along with the codes.

I put it on my scanner no coeds O2 sensor volts look ok but they do seem slow i used freeze frame to check when it stalled
coolant temp also looked ok. it is slowly getting worse ill replace the O2 sensor and give it a tune up let u know what happens thanks for your insight nice truck by the way
