drove to a friends about 2 miles, sitting indriveway, engine stalls, restarted, 10 seconds later stalls again, get it started again, pull out of driveway, stalls again, instrument gauges going wacky. shut it off, raise hood, notice small ground wire to firewall broken off and larger ground wire corroded. shake the wire a little, restart truck and drove it home where it sits now. I'm assuming it's electrical but not positive.

Hi:
Chances are the ground wires are what are causing the problem. repair the broken one and clean and tighten the corroded one making sure they both have a good ground.

Let me know if that helps.
