This is just a recent problem that has never happened before. Now when i try to reverse, sometimes, not always, the truck starts to hesitate like it's going to stall, if i put it back into drive it stops hesitating however if i dont the truck stalls on me. I can start it back up with minimal problems, like i have to rev the engine to get it to start but then it starts no problem.

Check for vacuum leaks and have it scanned for codes. Both soft and hard codes.
