Another freebie you can do is to ground the throttle body. It will keep rpms from fluctuating at idle and may keep it high enough not to stall. Even if it doesn't fix the issue, you'll still benefit with better throttle response...

Update: cleaned the EGR wasn't too dirty. Not sure about bench testing it to see if still works. Grounded throttle body with 10 gauge wire to fender. Cleaned the PCV valve and I think it's the mass air sensor as well. Truck runs good still stalled on me. I tried to this time and it did. Not sure what else to look for. No codes or p codes off key. I'd like to get my hands on a Bluetooth ob2 reader to see the fuel trend. I'm just grasping at straws now.
Suggestions?
Thanks

Okay well still stalls, not as much. Did oil change, might have helped? Other than that I'm lost now. I got a blue tooth ob2 reader, This is off of a torque pro android app. Now is there a way to bench test an electronic EGR? Mine is only a year old.

MID:$31 TID:$95
- EGR Monitor Bank 1
Max: 227.67999% Min: 334.67999%
Test result value: 320.62%
FAIL

- EGR Monitor Bank 1
Max: 227.67999% Min: 334.67999%

Any suggestions?
Thanks

I have changed cam and crankshaft sensors along with the egr valve, as I'm not getting codes I'm to guess it could be the tps sensor inside the throttle body since I've cleaned it and the butterfly doesn't open so getting a new throttle body. Try cleaning yours first to see if that fixes it. If not then throttle bodies online go for about 120-450. Hope that helps

Update:
So changed EGR, thought it fixed it. Hasn't stalled nearly as often. I cleaned the throttle body as best I could. Looks brand new. Checked all fluids, trans was a bit low.
Now only time it stalls the its cold out., going reverse then back to drive, the engine seems to slow down then dies. Easily started up, and its all good, all day. Usually in mornings when it's -20C.
Hmm might just have to move outta the dam cold ....

Is this idle air control part of the throttle body? Can it be cleaned or whole new throttle body?
