sputters

I have a'04 f-250 6.0L diesel truck. There are times when i come to a stop that my truck sputters like if it's about to run out of fuel or want to shut off but the tank is full or half. If i am going at a fast pace and then begin to slow down and stop it will sputter. Any ideas?

Do you have gauges? What is the high pressure pump putting out? If it goes below 500 pounds, it will die on you. We need to know the health of the other components. They all depend on each other to keep the engine running smoothly.

Would a rolling idle or surging describe it better? Unplug the ICP sensor and give it a go. Early 04 is under the turbo, late 04 is on the passenger side valve cover.

Guage is fine....i had the oil pump replaced because i was having problems with high oil pressure which 6.0's have and i replaced an injector. I just replaced the radiator and the mechanic did a block test due to the bad radiator. Of course that test doesn't really tell you anything other than the radiator was busted which anyone could have identified.
