turn your idle up there is a screw on the side of the pump its a bitch to get to but it should idle about 700 with the ac on does it sound like it has a huge cam and want to die if so bump the idle up!

it drops and it shuts the truck down when you let off the gas have to keep the rpms up in order to keep the truck running and sorry im new to these trucks also when i have my horse trailer hooked up the truck shuts down when you let off really quick
