when you start the truck it will not idle or it will surge once you get it to roll it will pick up speed to a point when turbo spools up truck takes off and runs but stop at a light or stop sign and it will die or surge it does not wont to pull its self off again but if it will start rolling it will slowly pick up speed to a point and take off

Have you replaced the fuel filter lately......

Do a pressure and flow test of the fuel pump at the Schrader valve on the filter header (FSS- fuel shutoff solenoid disconnected on IP). Remove the tire valve core and hook a hose and pressure guage on it should see 4-6 psi when cranking. Then do a fuel quantity test same place, should see 1/3 pint in 10 seconds of engine cranking, route fuel to a suitable container with a hose.

If there is a problem with the lift pump and you are changing it, ensure the new pump comes with instructions as to correct installation procedure if it is the newer model pump with the almost straight arm.
