Help. Truck starts fine and runs OK until warmed up then it sometimes stalls when stopped in traffic. I believe I hear a chattering noise coming from pasenger side of engine compartment or dash. (Hard to pinpoint) I have replaced fuel filter and added carburator cleanering product to fuel per directions with no positive results. Friend owns a handheld diagnostic device, plug it in with engine ok code present.

It sounds like the engine has a vacuum leak, this condition will make the engine stall. Please inspect all vacuum feed lines, plus has the engine had a major tune up lately, when the engine warms up it can cause the ignition wires to cross fire, causing the engine to stall.
