pull the connector on the coolant temp sensor & see if it stays running. it should keep it in open loop mode & may allow you to get going to move it to a different spot (near auto parts store).

When I am finally able to get it started, it stays running. I just has no acceleration and when I shut it down, it doesn't fire up immediately.

check the map sensor output... if this sensor is not working correctly it could produce the symptom you have.

I can start it, I just have to play with the accelerator to the point that it's flooded. I can smell gas. It does idle and the idle is smooth-ish.
When I turn it off, it doesn't fire back up immediately, I have to play with the accelerator to get it to start.

So, if I leave my battery disconnected will it reset all the codes, yeah?
When I start it back up it'll set the codes that are actually affecting my truck?
Because when I put the new battery in the only codes it was throwing was the p0052.
It also throws a 0499 but it's thrown that since before I got the truck and I got the truck in 2017.

Yep. Simply disconnecting the battery for 10 to 15 minutes should reset all the codes. I tend to disconnect the battery, and turn on the headlights, that makes sure any residual energy is dissipated, and the PCM really is reset. Turn off the headlights, hook the battery back up, see what happens.

Okay, I've done that. The only code that's really throwing me is the 0052 and it's done that three different times.

That's just the heater control circuit for bank 2. That should NOT cause the driveabiity problems you are seeing.
