Yup, I'll chime in and say the same thing about the battery. Been there
done that more than once. BTW, the PCM is very sensitive to the
slightest low voltage and since your alternator doesn't really charge
the battery that fast that's why your truck will stall out again right
after starting without hitting the gas. As for the 2k part my '96 has
done that and several other things when the battery has gone bad.
Replaced it and it was fine. I have thought for quite a while now about
setting up a dual battery system with one in the bed.
