Help! 6.0 problems...

Alright so this just started happening a couple days ago, thought it might just be a one time glitch but its not. if the truck runs for 15 minutes it does fine and doesn't stall. but anything less the RPM's fluctuate then it just dies. starting the troubleshooting with fuel filters tomorrow. just bought the truck 900 miles ago and im not too stoked about this. the video is of me holding the gas pedal steady at what would be 1750 RPM's. fingers crossed for it just being fuel filters..

any ideas or confirmation of it being fuel filters or something else? haven't seen anyone else with this problem...

what year is it???

fuel filters great place to start use OEM filters only

Id change all fluids and filters

I dont think it Fuel Problem from filters clogged it would run smooth at Idel and cut out at higher rpm with plugged fuel filter about opposite what you have since higher rpm would require more fuel

need to scan the truck

Check the FICM
and alternator output its output could be hindered by engine speed
