Check all electrical connections from the battery, to the starter first. Make sure they are all clean and tight.
If that doesn't help, swap the horn relay, and the starter relay in the PDC. You can also try swapping the fuel pump relay for another one, and see if that makes any difference.

-If I can keep the truck running by applying gas, that wouldn't have anything to do with a Fuel Pump would it?
Should I replace IAC or would it even matter?

Looking like that? Yeah, I'd replace it.
A sticking IAC can definitely cause your engine to die at idle. It's the most commonly complained of symptom when an IAC fails.

It'd be an indication that the pump is working, at least to some extent. I'd put a fuel pressure test gauge to it just to be sure.

Are there any other sensors that I should look at if it needs to be replaced

Before you go and spend a lot of money on sensors (other than IAC) checking fuel pressure to either rule that out or confirm that it is a problem would be a great start. If it fails to get enough fuel, it will not run right, die, etc.
