does this scan give a clue
With that low coolant temp and ambient air temp, highly doubt yer truck - whatever it is and whatever the complaint may be - is even in Closed Loop yet.
So - you can ignore the above data.
Include the Open Loop Flag in the stream next time.

opps, addl data
Sorry guys, thought I typed it in, got distracted. Cold start gives 15 to 20 seconds of normal then a hard loping idle that sometimes dies. Only does so when outside temp below 45. The above stats are all my scanner reads and the mid point of data is right where lope hit full on. Drives fine (far as I can tell) soon as you come off idle. Usual suspects (IAC, IAT, MAF, DPFE and hoses) all replaced already.

I hate to recommend shotgunning parts, but I might suspect the CHT - I would think the coolant temp should be higher than that after that amount of time. I MIGHT suspect the O2 heaters too.
While I understand a cylinder head temp sensor could mess with the computer's calculations, how could the cold weather affect the CHT sensor? I mean right on the engine it should heat up regardless of the outside air temp.
