Yeah either that or a heavily clogged fuel filter from algae or gelled up from the freeze. Who knows this is his first post and no information on where he lives.

My truck will stop while its going along at 40 or so mph, I've also had it stop while idleing, but it always starts back up and goes for a while before it stops again.
