I'd start with the easy stuff. Clean your throttle body and check your EGR valve.

Any codes?

alright, no codes as of right now. i will check the gorunds i searched the forums and seen a similar problem and it was a ground. the truck was recently purchased last week from a car lot so who knows about the maintenance, however there are new pulg and wires in it.
i thought maybe a vacuum leak or egr but if its the ground hopefully i can find it. the thing i dont get is that 2-3 prior to it stalling it was running great

it starts and idles fine but once the gas pedal is lightly pressed it dips and rises and if i hold it there it jumps areound. If i floor it it will rev normal

The vacuum sounds like a good thing to check too. Never know.
