You need to call the Ford dealer and talk to someone in the service department to see if your particular truck was part of the recall issued in November 2007. There were 1.1 million F-series trucks with diesel engines recalled because of a faulty camshaft position sensor. Just have your VIN number handy when you call.

I know is sounds stupid but check your engine oil. Low engine oil will cause poor performance and stalling. Cam sensors are common as said above.
