ive heard alot of trucks do this for long periods of time on a bad battery, cause everything has to have a certain amount of voltage

Hummm..... seems to be alot of this going around. I just had my cam installed and retuned about 6 months ago, and mine is stalling out at stop lights, and sharp turns also. My tuner says it may be the cold weather taking affect. When he tuned it, it was just before summer, and now that winter is here, that the fuel mixture may be affected. He also said that the truck may have to adapt to the cold weather, and re-learn. Does this sound about right? I though that I was having mis-fires. Still not sure.

I just thought of something. When was the last time you guys cleaned your MAF's? Get some CRC Mass air flow sensor cleaner to do the trick. I'm going to clean mine today and see what happens. I've got 16K on mine and have never cleaned it. Also I'll clean the TB too. Sometimes they get oily from the CAI oil and collects grime on them which will make your trucks run bad at idle or the tranny will not shift properly. I'll let you know how it does.

I changed my fuel filter yesterday and it didn't change anything. Also checked the Fuel pressure regulator hose to see if it had any fuel in it or smell like it. It was fine. So, I guess next I'll check the alternator and battery for free at the auto store. Then I'll break down and buy a fuel pressure guage.
