Default Stalling

Truck stalls after acceleration (letting off the pedal), just completely dies or the rpms drop way down then kick back up.

I'd go with IACV as well. Or take the non mechanically inclined approach and rule it to be "water in the gas..." That was always my dads response to issues.

+1 on the IAC. Had similar stalling issues, and replacing the IAC fixed it. The IAC was $40 from autozone, and since mine was filthy and probably OE I went ahead and replaced it.

Make sure you reset PCM after changing.
