I tend to agree too. Might check ait temp sensor and MAF sensor too. If you use a K&N filter the oil on them can raise cain with the MAF sensor and ruin it too.

What engine do you have ? 6.0 gas ?? If you find out what the problem is can you please post it. I have the same problem and I am thinking it's fuel injectors. Also do you ever use throttle body cleaner on this truck ?
There never was a 6.0 in a 1500 LD. Only a 4.8 or 5.3. They do all share same block and same ignition and fuel management system.

here's a thought ..check the vac line to the fuel pressure regulator .. if fuel present it is leaking
