Ive noticed that when approaching a redlight or stopsign my truck wants to nearly stall out. The RPM's drop to 200 or 300 and nearly dies. Mostly though, while in reverse it surges awful and acts like it wants to die and lately ALOT of the times it does die. It happens while in reverse. What is the problem here? Any suggestions?

Check for vacuum leaks and check idle air control valve.
