truck runs fine until you put on brake or turn on head lights then it stalls.

It sounds like your idle speed while in gear is too low. You may have an idle solenoid not working, or it might be adjusted incorrectly. when you turn an accessory on you load the alternator, thus slowing the engine RPM enough to cause it to stall. Raise the Idle speed.
