okay, i have a 2003 chevy silverado HD 6.0 litter gasoline.

just stated doing this yesterday and i have no idea where to look now.

it starts just fine, but after i put it in gear and start driving it, when i come to like a stop sign it starts idling really low and eventually shut off while still in gear. changed the battery already and the guys down at my local autozone told me the alternator was still really good.

?!?!?!?!?!?!

any ideas

thanks
okay so i think kenneth is right, but im not sure yet, my buddys dad is a mechanic for GM and he is going to look at it later on today.

however wanted to add that it runs fine at high speeds, so i dotn think its the injectors, its just while in gear at idle, and while changing gears from like drive to reverse at idle.

i am pretty positive its a dirty throttle body if not ill look into the injectors

bob could be right. you might have a dirty gas filter or if your light is on then maybe the throttle position sensor or idle air control sensor.

you night want to chek the control module, if it doesn't start up again until later... you might want to check the voltage regulator (built in the alternator) if u need a jump after it dies... you might want to check the fuel filter (replace every 40,000 miles maximum) if it runs sluggish after you start it again... other than that you may have a shorted or disconnected wire in the engine compartment or a fusible link blown...
