Random Stall - Crank no start

When attempting to head out to work this morning my 2000 3.0L V6 manual started with no problems at all. However when I tried to pull out of the parking spot it immediately stalled. I thought maybe it was just user error as I had new boots on so I tried to restart it and it cranked but wouldn't start. I caught a ride to work and after returning home it started just fine again. At this point I made it out of the parking lot but then it stalled again. It was an immediate stall, no struggling or signs of anything just sudden loss of engine power. I didn't get a check engine light and my OBD didn't display any codes. I began thinking it's a fuel related issue, so I disconnected fuel filter and turned ignition to prime fuel system and fuel shot out of the line with decent pressure so that leads me to believe fuel pump is fine. I replaced the fuel filter because it was 9$ from autozone so why not. After replacing I primed the system a couple of times before attempting to start and still nothing. I've got a new air filter. The Ignition coil pack, Ignition wires, spark plugs are all about 2.5 years old. No coolant in my oil, no oil in my coolant. When spraying starter fluid into intake and trying to start it kind of helps but still will just crank and no start. Battery is fine, alternator is fine and relatively new. I don't believe it's the injectors as it would be wild for them to all go out at once and if it was just one it would start but misfire. At this point I am lost and hoping someone on here have some wisdom for me. Thank y'all for your time.
I also want to add that before this my truck was not running rough at all or showing any signs of anything out of the ordinary. Also has a little over 165000 miles
