1988 f250 7.3 idi
Okay so as you can see in the title I have a 88 f250 7.3 idi and I'm having the same issue. My truck starts and purrs like a cat but when I drive it and get into 3rd gear. As I decelerate my truck what's to stall out. If I stop and let it run for a minute then it works itself back to a regular idle with a couple revs of the engine. It will run all day until I drive. When I cut it of I do get a strong smell of diesel, I'm not sure if that's part of but I figured I'd through it out there.

You should start your own thread. I also suggest to post it in the diesel specific forum: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum117/
Plenty of folks with diesel specific experience in there.
I am a gas engine guy, I cannot help you anymore than pointing you to better suited forum.
