P0174, P0171, p1000, p0232, P0122, c1090,c1202, B 1670, c115 0, c1155. That was when the problem first started after replacing everything unfortunately I had to unhook the battery to pull the alternator to change the temperature sensor now I'm not even having a check engine light but the problem still exists right now I'm sitting in AutoZone since 9 a.m. it is now 4 p.m. I can't keep throwing money in Parts at it without knowing the proper issue as soon as operating temperature is reached it bogs down and cuts off.

The first, second and fourth code are what I would concentrate on. The P1000 only means a drive cycle has not been completed. Too lean could mean a lot of things but I would be looking for a vacuum leak, probably a big one. Has this truck been flooded or in a major accident?

It has been to a mud bog it is a 4 by 4 but after the mud bog the problem didn't arise until a month later which is understandable but this problem to occur due to mud. I have changed the purge valve which I did not stay in my top post no accidents. It still runs fine when cold as soon as I parading temperature hits she bogs down then cuts off

There are no EVAP codes to indicate a purge valve problem. All those chassis codes may be from mud bog abuse. I would also check your O2 sensors, if they are bad it could make the computer think the truck is running lean. Did you remove the cats on this truck?

Update I took it to Pep Boys Auto the mechanic told me that it needed a fuel pump and he's going to change the filter as well I'll know by tomorrow $800 later
