Hope someone can help. Just changed my origonal battery,now the idle on the truck is acting funny and the truck has stalled a couple times at low rpm when I was parking the truck. I have never had this problem until I changed the battery. Thanks for your help

Hopefully somebody who's more knowledgeable than me will be along to help you soon, but...

-How long has it been since you replaced the battery? It does take a little while for the computer to relearn after the battery gets disconnected, though it still shouldn't be stalling, I wouldn't think.

-Any chance you bumped or disconnected something while changing the battery? Unplugged a sensor or disconnected a vacuum line, perhaps?

Was the replacement battery checked before you installed it?....it is possible to get a bum battery that is new.

Make sure your connections are tight. Computer could be losing the memory if the cables are loose. Had that happen on my friend's F250. Also make sure the battery is good like Duncan said. Truck also has to relearn it's idle after replacing battery.
