To test if it's flooding out when off, as @Doc suggested, try starting the truck with the gas pedal to the floor. In the days of carburetors, this was standard operating procedure if you flooded your engine.  Engineers programmed modern cars to function the same way. If it starts within a few seconds, you're flooding out. 

Great info @justin-sheperd

Probably fuel injectors are leaking and flooding the engine when shut off.  Get it scanned for codes first.  If that's the case, clean or replace them.
