This could be a couple things and here is a guide that covers the basics. My bet is a fuel pump issue.

Let's start with checking fuel pressure when this happens. There was an issue on these vehicles that the fuel pump would fail and the pressure dropping when it stalls is a telltale.

The other likely thing that was not covered here is a failing TIPM. The fuel pump relay is internal to the TIPM so if the pressure is not dropping we will check this next.
