Default richard petty needs help!

Im sure everyone here remebers me, if you dont just search for my name =). Anyways my trucks dieing! Well at least i think so. As always it has trouble shifting (just flushed the tran to, new fluid), still messed up. Also the radiator died, had to get that replaced ($380 for the radiator alone, did i get ripped off?). For a while now though im starting to have some kind of idling problem. The rpms dont bounce but after then engine is running for a few mins and it goes to an idle (ie stoplight), it makes a really irritating noise and vibration that sounds like something is rubbing against something, also if the truck idles for more than a few mins and you try to go (put it into drive or even reverse), it just dies(not getting enough fuel?),also if i drive it for too long it will cut out for a second, feels like im hitting a speed bump but no bump(this one really has me worried) =(. My moron dad just wants to keep dumping money into it , offered 10k to put towards it but i dont get any money for a new truck if i sell it...? Any input would be appreciated.(I have my flame suit on)

lol, 1st off your tranny is probably the problem, have a tranny shop check it out.
2nd, if you havent already done a tuneup, do that 1st and clean the throttle body while your at it.
3rd, if all of the above hasnt pointed you in the right direction, change your o2 sensor.

I don't need to search for the threads... I remember lol...
