when my truck is stopped at idle it runs very rough. it runs fine when it is our on the road, but when i stop at idle it runs rough to the point that is almost quits. when in neutral it is ok, but when it is in gear at idle is when it runs rough.

Check the fuel presssure, ignition timing, adjust A/F mix and curb idle, test the PCV and EGR valves.
