97 C1500 350 Erattic Misfire and Detenation

I am having problems with my truck going dead while at highway speed, not cranking when I go into a conveince store for a few minutes, and sometimes it will diesel and pop at idle after driving a few miles. Most all times the truck will start after a few minutes and run fine till the next episode. I definitley had a cap, rotor and plug wire problem, so I replaced them all with premium Carquest Gold products, no cheap stuff. After replacing cap, rotor and wires, the shutting down at highway speds and intermittent non-start issues stopped for now. This morning while pulling in to work at idle my truck went dead, I put it in park and restarted, it restarted immediately and was dieseling terribly, I shut it off and restarted again and it idled great. Fuel pressure is strong at 62 psi. The truck has 298,000 and runs great other than the above mentioned problems, which I believe have all been addresed except for the dieseling. What else should I check?
