That sounds like an upstream (before the catyletic converter) oxygen sensor to start out with. Does the code say which side is bad? You will have a sensor on both sides of the engine on the exhaust pipe

From the sounds of the codes it would be those sensors. Unfortunately they run about $45 a piece or more. It’s recommended to use NGK brands, I’ve heard several people complain about issues running Bosch or other brand for some reason in the trucks

When I was dealing with o2 sensors that was the same problem you described. It would barely idle, had no power and ran like crap

Why would it run on lpg better than petrol surely it still needs the o2 working
On gas it never stalls.

The truck has a coversion kit so it can run on lpg and it has been running on the stuff it might be tuned to run on lpg instead of petro.Don't know much about lpg but i have converted a generator so it could run on petro lp and propane but it had a carb and had regulators to control the fuel pressure .I do know lpg doesn't produce as much power has petro .Do you know if the computer has been reprogrammed to run both? That might your problem this is a wild guess so don't take it the wrong way this is a hunch.

No experience using LPG, but this sounds like a gas problem. I would the fuel rail pressure. Should be 58psi running.
