I had the same problem. My fuel pump was bad, I'd look there or into the fuel filter first, then go from there.

thats an easy fix. just sell me your truck.

it sounds like a fuel filter, fuel pump, or maybe your not gettin any air. id go through the easy stuff first like the filter and see what you come up with

Try and unplug your maf, then start and see how it idles.

If it runs the same the maf is ok. Make sure you shut down before pluggin the maf back in.
