THE TRUCK STARTS AND IDLES FOR 10 SECONDS, THEN CHUGS AND DIES. IF I HIT THE GAS PEDAL WHILE ITS IDLING, IT DIES AUTOMATICLY. FOR A FEW MONTHS PREVIOUS TO THIS, FIRST THING IN THE MORNING THE TRUCK WOULD START UP AND RUN JUST FINE. BUT ANYTIME YOU'D START IT AFTER THAT, YOU'D HAVE TO PUMP THE GAS PEDAL TO GET TO START AND THEN THE IDLE WOULD BE SLUGGISH.

Hello, make sure the theft system isn't causing a problem, check fuel pressure, check for codes.

If you have electronic throttle control, I did see a bulletin about rough idle, clean the throttle-body.
