There is a well known heat failure problem with these modules but that was when the modules were mounted on the distributor and your truck should have the fix which was to move it to the fender and mount it in a heatsink.
But don't go guessing and changing parts blindly you could spend a lot of money on the wrong parts, instead pull the codes first to see what has been flagged, if it's ignition related there will be codes for that, and if not then you have a fuel supply problem or something else.
