Welcome to the FTE.
Does it only die at idle or does it die going down the road as well. Anything else you can tell us about the truck. When was the last fuel filter change? And it maybe the CPS have you replaced it or gone in for the recall?

I'm with JOE-M on this one. It sounds like your torque converter is sticking. Try putting it into neutral right before you stop and see if it continues to run. If so, start making plans to get the torque converter replaced. Common problem from what I've read here on FTE.

lets start with the free easy stuff first, then if the symptoms come back we can look at the TC, or other causes.

If your interested you can go to the very top of the page and select the recalls/tsb button and see any recalls related to your truck. Click on the one your interested in and it should give you the info.

When your truck dies, does it just shut off or sputter to a death? The TC not unlocking would feel like you stopped a strait drive without depressing the clutch. Any check engine lights?
