Why does the engine stall when I remove then replace the oil filler cap

Normal, maybe. Since they started putting the engine case vacuum in the air filter plenum. Yes it happens. Many different cars today will shut down soon if the oil cap is not on. It has to do with the Mass air flow sensor.

Why on my1997tahoe when you remove the oil filler cap truck will stall and lots of suction

Well -doing that sort of takes out the PCV System
doesn't it

Unmetered air comes in the oil fill hole & gets drawn into
the intake & leans out the fuel mix

You also got PCV system issues with high vacuum
