The truck will start, I can drive it around for any length of time; meaning five minutes or forty five minutes with no issues. However, when I shut the truck off I cannot get it started again for at minimum six hours. I replaced all the plugs, wires, distributor, rotor, ICM, battery, both ground and hot cables. Fuel pumps will all come on and run. It is fuel injected. Any suggestions on simple tests would be greatly appreciated.

When the engine stalls do you have spark? Here is a guide to help you see how to test it:
