Truck was dead after interior light was left on. Upon jumping truck it started and ran with accelerator depressed lightly. When pedal is releaesd to idle, truck stalls.

Hi:
Have you fully recharged the battery in the truck? If the battery is basically dead, the alt will not recharge it. That can cause the problem. However, if the battery was dead for a period of time, the computer may need to relearn everything which may take some time.

Let me know if this helps.
Joe
