Hey, nice looking truck! Don't sweat about now soaking the rockers, thats for lifters. As you said, you only need to lube em up with oil. The rockers have nothing at all to do with oil pressure as they are at the end of the line sort of speak.

Not sure if I missed something, but are you reading the dash guage or did you install a mechanical one?

Maybe related, maybe not, but I see no mention anywhere about any work done to the intake,like lower gasket/plenum.

More than likely, you won't notice a 10hp gain. Plus, you need to do more than just a higher ratio rocker. You're on the right track though. Do you have plans on other upgrades too? Like an intake, cam, injectors, etc?

You said you have done seafoam lately, have you checked your plugs one side effect of seafoam is the possibility of fouling plugs, that would definantly slow the truck back down, and with a reg cab you should be able to smoke them tires easily, you might want to check plenum also as previously stated
