Possible but I don’t even know where to start with the ground. I’ve wiggled about every wire that I can get my hands on, tighened/checked grounds and all seems good. If it is electrical, I don’t know how to identify other than TotM emplacement wiring harnesses and all sensors!

OK, so problem solved! After all of the above work, troubleshooting, following suggestions, narrowing and head scratching, it turned out to be the ECM. I bought one off of EBay and replaced in about 15 minutes. It took more time to get my tools out and put them away than it did to replace the actual part. I plugged the module back in with the 4 connectors that it uses and have not had any issues with stalling since then. I appreciate all of the help and suggestions that everyone here on this forum provided as it was the key support I needed to solve this problem. Thank you to all!

Congrats! Did you have it programmed for your VIN? If you just bought a used one out of a junk truck, you will have to let the dealer or a 3rd party flash it with your VIN/programming if you have state inspections where you are.
