Alright guys I'm new to the forum, but anywho, like the title says, there was a time where the truck was stalling a few months ago at idle, so I replaced the IAC and haven't had issues since. I changed out the radiator and replaced the coolant a week prior to this not sure if that is related at all, but a few days ago I was driving on the freeway doing about 70 (truck was running at optimal temperature), with my foot a little in the gas, and the truck began stalling and just about died but I slammed the gas pedal down to the floor and it came back to life. It drove fine for another 10 minutes, and then when going at a relatively steep incline on an exit ramp onto another freeway, it started stalling again and I did pump the gas again, the engine roughly stayed on for a few more seconds before ultimately stalling where I had to pull off on the side of the road (note I didn't lose any power to the cab during all of this). At this point kept trying to start the truck unsuccessfully a few times for a few minutes while pumping the gas pedal while doing so. After a few times, the last time it didn't start up a check engine light and a check gauges light came on but obviously wasn't able to read a code on the spot. I tried starting it up again and it did start up normally and I've been driving it without another stalling issue since. However I may be overthinking this, but the engine seems to be running slightly rough where it sounds like there is a slight whining when revved, and the crawl speed and general truck seems to be a little slow/less powerful than normal. Any leads or advice on this??

yea I agree check fuel pressure, sounds like the fuel pump, especially with it doing it going up a hill, not too hard of a job to do, my dad did his last year by just loosening a few bolts on the bed to lift it up some and changed the pump out right there, no need to drop the tank and all that
