Electrical Problem?
Alright this morning I go to leave the lake and go to work and the truck starts and runs fine with lights on. Drive about 3mi. and the truck just dies. WTF. Pull over try to start and no go. Shut the lights off and truck starts, turn the lights on truck dies. Hmm ground problem? Start it again and everything thing is fine. Now today I get home and turn the lights back on and the truck dies. Ran great all day without lights. What ya think? Must be a ground some where? Why no other issues?

it does sound like a short to ground, probably in the wires going through the firewall or something under your dash. the wire from the key telling the truck to stay running must be grounding out and the truck it self never get the voltage from the ignition switch and then killing it.
random guess but sounds possible to me. you could try jiggling the wires and maybe if the wires dont touch anymore.
