I found that I had dirty gas that was causing many of my problems. There were also several issues with bad sensors, the last of which I hope to change today.
I have replaced the cap and rotor along with wires and plugs, TPS and IAC and the computer had an internal issue so I found a used one that made a significant difference. The exhaust system was in bad condition so I replaced the exhaust pipe and muffler without a catalytic converter. I also made my own base plate for the intake manifold and installed it.
Today I will replace the temperature sensor and that will, hopefully, be the end of the changes. The truck is great when it is running good, something I hope to experience more.

Look inside the intake and if you can see oil it likely has a blown gasket. I made a new base plate because the steel one expands at a different rate than the aluminum plenum.
Yesterday I installed a new temperature sensor. No difference on initial run and much difference this morning. The truck usually requires being plugged in to start on cool mornings. Not so today. Started right up and ran well. Let it idle and it warmed up quickly and faltered slightly when I took it for a drive.
I hesitate to say that I might be winning!
Lets see what tomorrow brings.

I changed the temp sensor on the left side of the thermostat housing. ( Thats your right as you lean over the rad.)
This morning I went out a bought a new battery and everything works better now. The voltage on the old battery was 11.5. I will go and start it tomorrow morning and see what happens.

I feel your anger. I would change the cam and crank sensor with a new one not from the junkyard. Do you have fuel and spark when it dies?
This what I've replaced on my 95 3.9.....
Fuel pump, oxygen sensor, removed cat, coil, wires, plugs, cap, rotor, coil, pick up, cam sensor, crank sensor, battery, map sensor, iac, tps, tried 3 ECM, ignition switch, tried new asd and fuel pump relay.
