IDLE while stopping

When im going about 40 mph, and coming up to a red light or stop sign i hit the brakes and the truck almost stalls and then the idle bounces back up to idle. I have a trailer brake control under the dash. When im driving and i let off the throttle it holds the gear aswell...I have to tap the brake to get it to idle down and go to neutral. Am i missing something? My two vans dont do this. And they have 7.3s also.

tapping the brake disengages the torque converter clutch. thats normal. some more info on the truck and symptons will help with the issue at hand

1997 F350 crew cab single rear wheel...Automatic, no mods other than the 6637 and no muffler. When i hit the brakes to stop it just wants to stall, then it comes back to normal. Thats the best i can do on explaining it. Just picture going to stop, and you hit the pedal and within 3 seconds it goes to shut off and then returns to idle. LoL Ive had the longest day, sorry for the run on explanation!

could be a bias icp sensor. try unplugging it and driving the truck, dont mind the check engine light.
