Seems to be ambient temperature related and does it more when colder. Anyone have any ideas or had this issue?

Please list year of truck and what kind of engine.

Is it actually dropping to 0 RPM or is it just the gauge? It sounded like it was still running normal, but hard to tell.

It is a 2003, 7.3. It totally dies but since I'm in motion it basically push starts it by the feel. The truck will shutter as it dies but the rpms pick right back up.
