You may have poor ignition wires that need to be replaced or a bad electrical connection that is affected by water either for the ignition system or the fuel injection system. just some places to look.

SOURCE: f350 2000 stalling and sputtering while driving after running a while or runs fine

Many possibilities:
Is it a Diesel?
Camshaft position sensor recall may cover it.
Gas or Diesel:
Fuel Pump and/or relay.
Fuel Filter.

Engine codes could help if Check Engine Light is on.

It's got all the symptoms of a leak in the fuel line. You may want to start backward at the tank and work your way all the way to the carb to find it but it would be surprising if it was something else. All the best.

Water pump isn't moving enough water at the extra highway speeds. I've seen toyota water pump impellers wear down and sometimes it slips on the shaft. Look at replacing the water pump.

ok. if coolant loss is evident and you need to add water each time and not loosing it (from anywhere visible). we can tell that there is a crack on upper part of your engine . cylinder head can be broken too. so that water is entering to combustion chamber and vaporized.
