trouble staying running

My 06 XLT with approx 60k miles is having trouble staying running after starting it. I can get the truck to start (it does start a little rough) and it will idle ok. But after a couple of minutes it just idles down and stalls out. After stalling out I'm unable to start it again for a while. I tried "dry gas" but that didn't change anything.

I'm not sure where to being my troubleshooting...relays, fuel pump, injectors? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Checked fuses and relays all ok. Started ok but I noticed a squeaking at the rear. Died after 5 minutes. Fuel pump?

Maybe a vacuum hose leaking.

Any codes? I'd start with a scan.

Check your air filter, mass air-flow sensor, and fuel filter. The fuel filter is supposed to be changed every 30k.
